The explosion occurred near the Chamoli district headquarters, where a team of police officials and home guards were conducting a routine inspection of the power infrastructure.
The deceased include a police official and five home guards. The injured are being treated at the district's main hospital.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
Electrocution is a major cause of accidental deaths in India, especially during the monsoon season.
The monsoon season poses particular danger, as heavy rains can cause power lines to sag or break, and waterlogging creates highly conductive areas that significantly increase the risk of electrocution.
Electrical accidents are not limited to specific regions but can occur throughout the country, affecting both urban and rural areas.
Given India's dense population and extensive electricity distribution, the issue of electrocution remains a serious concern for public safety. (ILKHA)
