High-risk wires

Published

THERE are high-voltage transmission wires dangling over our agricultural lands since many years. They are dangerous to the lives of those working in the fields. These low-hanging high-voltage transmission lines have made it almost impossible for us to work in the fields.

I have personally approached the relevant offices in Dadu district about these risky transmission lines, but no one is ready to pay heed to such complaints.

The higher authorities are requested to intervene and set things right so that the famers may work in the fields without having to put their lives on the line.
