The loose and snapped electric live wires that dot
the city and rural areas are putting the thousands of lives in danger in the Adilabad district of Telangana. Even as the wires snapped due
to rust and being worn out, they were strewn on the ground causing grave threat
to the passerby. Dangling live electric
wires on the roads are proving to be a sure –shot killer.
There was huge delay in switching off the power
whereas the situation needed immediate action.
Overgrown branches have led to the Transco staff
cutting off the branches near transformers. Incidents of transformers getting
burnt are on the rise these days in the Adilabad town.
Electric poles are uprooted and bent to a side due
to heavy rains with gales that struck the district.
Crows add to the damage. Such incidents are
frequently taking place during the rainy season.
Incidents of death of farmers and cattle due to accidentally connecting to the live electric wires or snapped wires or loose wires are on the rise in the district. Recently, a lorry conductor came in touch with the lose wire lying on the cabin of the lorry and was electrocuted at Adilabad market yard.
A mason narrowly escaped from being electrocuted while working when the live loose electric wire came in contact with the iron tool near district court in the Adilabad town. The alerted mason dropped the iron tool and saved his life.
