GTT technician in hospital after shocked on pole

A technician working with the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) was yesterday hospitalised as a result of almost being shocked after coming into contact with a transformer belonging to the Guyana Power and Light Company.

Up to press time last night, the technician who has since been identified as 43-year-old David Kunath, remained a patient of the burn care unit of the Georgetown Hospital where he is said to be nursing second and third degree burns to his body.
