Live electric wires on wooden poles, trees pose danger
The residents of Ramban district expressed concern over low hanging live electric wires on wooden poles and trees and accused the Power Development department of showcasing “callous approach” and “throwing norms to wind”.
They said, “In the town areas as well as far flung areas, live electric wires hang less than 8 feet from the ground. At many places, these wires are attached to wooden poles or trees. It seems that the Power Development department is inviting trouble. As if they (PDD) want people to be electrocuted.”
“Not only the low tension wires, but high tension wires are also hanging close to the ground. A moment of carelessness and anyone can be electrocuted,” they claimed.
