Balaani,: An electric pole on the main road of Bada Bil-Kiriburu is in a dangerous and dilapidated condition. However, the Electricity Department has not shown any attention to its repair or alternative solution despite repeated demands from the local villagers. While the department readily collects electricity dues, it shows no urgency in providing necessary services or addressing the issue. This has caused frustration among the local residents.
The electric pole, located in front of the house of Gouranga Nayak in the Balani Panchayat area, near the main road from Balani Basti to Kiriburu, is leaning dangerously. This presents a significant hazard, as the pole could potentially fall and cause damage to someone or something. With the onset of the summer season, when weather conditions become harsher, this situation is even more concerning. The villagers have demanded that the Electricity Department repair the pole or find a safer solution.
It remains to be seen whether the department will address this hazardous condition before any accident occurs, or if they will wait for an incident to happen.
