<i>Tragic end of 'best' fish farmer</i>
The best fish farmer of Dimla upazila was electrocuted yesterday while feeding fishes in his pond.
Locals and police said Hamidur Rahman,35, son of Abdul Hakim of Shalhati village, who was adjudged the best fish farmer of the upazila by the administration several times, used to feed fishes in his big ponds everyday.
He set up electric poles in the ponds and put the lights on so that none could steal the fishes. But yesterday he did not notice that an electric wire snapped off a pole and fell in the pond.
When Hamidul came to feed the fishes at noon he came in contact with the live wire. Locals switched the electric line off and rushed him to the Upazila Health Complex at Dimla where the attending physicians declared him dead.
