Even eight months after two deaths due to electrocution in the Daba area, it seems the department concerned is still in a deep slumber. The damaged electricity poles and naked wires dangling close to buildings still pose a threat to precious lives.
A partially damaged electricity pole on street number 4 of Kabir Nagar at Daba depicts “non-seriousness” of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited. The broken pole stands on the support of a piece of wood.
Apart from this, people’s complaints about live wires passing close to their factories, shops and houses have fallen on deaf ears. They said the authorities concerned had been ignoring their complaints for a long time.
