Lineman’s negligence, high tension wires were too low
At the same time, the local Muslim people involved in the Moharram procession say that every year this Tajiya comes out from here in the form of Moharram procession. Every year MPEB linemen accompany our Moharram procession. This time also they were together. Every time the Tajiya is lifted, the upper high tension line is switched off. However, this time it did not happen due to which a major accident took place.
In this case, great negligence of the lineman has come to light, due to which the common people have to bear the brunt. This line is very low and the wires of 11 KV high tension line are going in the middle of the village. Even buses and trucks cannot pass under it. People are demanding that the electricity pole should be removed from here and the line should be shifted to one side.
