Municipality employee lost his life in the line of duty, family in Tropoja opens the morgue doors

Muhamet Sylisufaj, the person you see in this photo, is the employee of the Tropoja Municipality who lost his life in the line of duty this Tuesday afternoon. He was working with colleagues to install street lighting poles when they came into contact with electricity.

The Sylisufaj family in the village of Gri in Tropoja has opened the doors of the morgue and, amidst great pain over the departure of the head of the family, informs friends and acquaintances about the reception and escort of Muhamet to his final home.

The 58-year-old man died at the scene as a result of an electric shock, while his three colleagues suffered injuries and are in Bajram Curri Hospital.

The State Police announced that near the village of Bujan, on the Dobrave road, 4 employees of the Tropoja Municipality, while carrying out work to distribute and physically place lighting poles on this road, came into contact with electricity.

Preliminary investigations suspect that, while placing a pole on the foundation, due to its weight, the 4 workers who were holding it lost their balance and the pole touched the power wires, conducting electricity.

As a result, citizen Muhamet Sylisufaj, 58 years old, has passed away, while citizens Albert Dunisha, 40 years old, Ilir Dautaj, 47 years old, and Afrim Aliaj, 21 years old, are at Bajram Curri Hospital for medical treatment.

"From the preliminary actions, it appears that the employees were carrying out the transport and distribution of the poles, according to the work plan, dated 04.09.2026, of the Tropoja Municipality, Directorate of Tourism, Public Services and Transport," the Police announced.
