A man who climbed into a tanker in Andijan was electrocuted - a threat to life on the railway

An extraordinary incident occurred in the Andijan region that shocked the public: on June 10, a man climbed onto a tank at the Poytug railway station and was electrocuted. The press service of Uzbekistan Railways reported this officially.

According to reports, a stranger entered the station area and climbed onto an empty tank on the second track. At that moment, he fell to the ground due to high voltage on the contact network. The station duty officer responded quickly to the situation, called a medical team, and provided the victim with the necessary assistance. The injured person was taken to the hospital.

A video clip circulating on social networks also captured the terrifying moments of the incident: the man can be seen writhing on top of the tank, his body burning, and, unable to bear the pain, he throws himself down. The video of this incident immediately caused widespread discussion.

Uzbekistan Railways once again appealed to the public, emphasizing that unauthorized entry into the territory of the railway infrastructure by unauthorized persons is strictly prohibited and poses a serious threat to life and health. The company called on all citizens to strictly observe safety rules, as any careless action on the railway network can lead to a major tragedy.

This incident once again calls on all of us to be vigilant and responsible, to increase precautions in life-threatening areas. Uzbekistan Railways officials announced that they will mobilize all forces to prevent such situations in the future.
