HYDERABAD: A tilting electricity pole and dangling high tension wires on Road Number 6 in BHEL area, Bhavanipuram are posing a major threat to commuters. Post the torrential rains that ravaged the city a fortnight ago, locals fear that the pole has tilted dangerously and may snap anytime.
If it falls on pedestrians, it may lead to fatalities as well, fear residents. They alleged that despite repeated appeals, authorities concerned have not taken any step to replace the electric pole.
“This is my daily route. I fear for my own life as well as that of others. What if a person who is unaware crosses this route and comes in touch with the high tension wires? Who will be held responsible if a commuter dies,” asks Narayan, a resident.
