Cables Obstructs Pedestrian Footpath


Cables continue to pose danger to pedestrians along 4th Avenue Shanthi Colony. Every day thousands of pedestrians walk past this spot unknowing about the dangerous cables.

The electrocution incidents of people during the rainy season has once again exposed the danger of exposed power cables pose. Several people have lost their lives in similar incidents in the past.

All across the city, cables sticking out of junction boxes and broken electric poles become deadly traps during the rains when huge stretches of roads become waterlogged and commuters are unaware of the hidden dangers. Pedestrians should be more vigilant at night. 

TNEB officials should follow safety measures while laying cables in many areas. Cables should be at a depth so as to avoid risks of electrocution, but few cables are found obstructing the road space.
