In a flagrant disregard for the safety of residents and commuters, a high-tension power pylon stands right in the middle of a road passing through the area in Gazipur with shops and houses on its sides.
It has been here for years and become a landmark that locals refer to an unfamiliar visitor.
“It is a risky situation. A tragedy can occur anytime. It is a busy locality with traffic movement on both sides of the tower,” said Brij Mohan Tiwari, a resident of Platinum Homes Society.
