(Baonghean.vn) - Makeshift power grids, uncovered plugs and sockets, and rusty machinery left exposed outdoors are potential electrical accidents in vegetable and shrimp farming fields in the coastal plains of Nghe An.

| The grid power system was invested by the people of Quynh Luong commune, Quynh Luu district, to the fields to serve the daily irrigation of vegetables. Due to the temporary installation, there are many potential risks of electric shock accidents. Currently, nearly 100% of the vegetable production area in the coastal area of Quynh Luu is installed with an electricity system. Photo: Quang An |

Many "electric poles" are made of bamboo, leaning against the corner of the field, with the power outlets and wires uncovered. Residents of Hamlet 7, Quynh Luong Commune said that not long ago, Mr. Ho Viet Khoa's wife was electrocuted to death while using grid electricity to water vegetables in the field. In Hamlet 10, Dien Thanh Commune (Dien Chau), nearly a year ago, while using a pump in the field, due to an electric leak, a woman was electrocuted to death. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

| Water pumps are also placed next to the fields, and people plug them in every day to pump water for watering their vegetables. Some families build a tent with canvas to protect them from the sun and rain, but some families use a plastic bucket to cover the electric motor like this, which is not safe to use.

| In shrimp farms, the amount of electricity consumed during shrimp care is quite large. However, because people have not focused on investing in a system of sturdy and safe electric poles and wires, the potential risk of electric shock is very high. Just a little carelessness can lead to electric shock. Shrimp farmers in Dien Trung commune (Dien Chau) said that there have been many cases of electric shock right in the shrimp farms due to electric leakage. Photo: Xuan Hoang |
