Jamnagar Deputy Superintendent of Police J.N. Zala told IANS: “The Tazia procession was passing through Dharar nagar-2, when the accident occurred. It was too tall and over head a 66 KV power supply was passing.

All those who were close to Tazia or pulling the cart came in contact with the power supply and suffered injuries.”
