HOWRAH: A mango grower in Howrah was killed after falling from a tree and being impaled on a bamboo pole on Saturday morning. Ganesh Hauli, 50, died before he could be taken to a health centre.

"Hauli normally supervised the job while labourers plucked mangoes and packed them in bags.On Saturday, he decided to climb a tree himself," said Ramesh Sarkar, the orchard owner.
Hauli stepped on a weak branch, which broke and he fell into a bamboo thicket. A bamboo pole pierced his throat. He succumbed to the injury on the way to Domjur Primary Health Centre.
