Bhopal's 'Eiffel Power': Road Under High-Tension Pole Sparks Safety Fears
- •Bhopal adds a new urban oddity: a fully motorable road directly beneath a towering high-tension electricity pole in Karond.
- •Residents sarcastically call it their 'Eiffel Tower,' raising serious safety concerns, especially during monsoons.
- •The structure has stood for two decades, but recent road construction under buzzing high-voltage lines has alarmed locals.
- •Residents fear electrocution, citing a recent incident where a young girl reportedly suffered burns from high-tension current.
- •Despite repeated complaints to local representatives and ministers, no action has been taken to relocate the dangerous pole.
