The 20/6 was a Black Monday for KSEB and for the State. For the first time ever since it’s commissioning, thick cloud emanated from the prestigious Under- ground Power Station at Idukki, the news about which came as a shock to many. The disaster took away two precious lives. No doubt it is a great loss to the Board and for the Nation which was said during Panniar disaster also. But the loss suffered by the victim’s immediate near and dear ones are incalculable and life- long sustaining, no matter
whatever be the amount of compensation given.
