A number of open feeder pillars, boxes and open cables at the Noida Sector 18 market continues to pose a threat to people and animals, according to the market association.
Shopkeepers said that the issue has not been fixed despite complaints and they have had to take to social media to raise the issue.
Pointing out that a stray dog was electrocuted a few days ago due to one of these corroded old cable panels that have exposed wires, traders said that many of these open wires, transformer covers and feeder boxes are located right outside shops or in the proximity of pathways that can lead to accidents during the rain.
