In the Narwal area there is a ‘rehri’ zone, but the rehri zone is just beneath the 33000Watt line. And the street vendors in the Narwal area are selling the goods beneath this 33000Watt line. This can be fatal at any point of time. The vendors are selling vegetables, fruits, juices under the danger zone without knowing about the danger associated with it.
Even the customers who come here to buy the goods do not bother about the danger of being so close to these electric wires. Customers are coming here and nobody complains about the danger. Everywhere on the poles, there are sign boards where ‘Danger’ is written, but still no one is paying any heed.
Whether we call it negligence of authorities who have given permission to these street vendors to install their ‘rehris’ or it is the negligence of these ‘rehriwallas’, or the negligence of the customers, but it is high time something needful be done so that any unfortunate incident does not happen.
