| A Red Rose For Friendship |
Two weeks ago, while playing soccer in a nearby park at night, he chased the football to a corner and while retrieving it from behind the bushes, leaned over an electric pole. Shock of shocks... The pole had live current. He did not get a shock, he simply got stuck on the electric pole. The more he tried to pull himself, the more he got stuck to it.

Hats off to his friends who immediately noticed this and came to his rescue. They tried to pull him off but were thrown off by the strong electric current. But they did not give up. Without caring for their own lives, they put their mite together and managed to pull him out of a situation which was heading towards being fatal in a few seconds. A few burns on the hands, some body muscles in spasm but the power of friendship once again proved that there is nothing like good friends!
The local residents later shared that this pole has been having electric current for a long time and it was public knowledge.
What are the civic authorities doing? Is anybody accountable? Nobody knows.
What I know is that there is nothing like a good friend!

Bringing out such instances of negligence is itself a public service.
Most of us do not think about this callous attitude and become quite immune to such situations.
Well done Ranjana, for bringing these instances in black and white, and for making us think.
Cant we make the local administration / electricity supply authority, responsible for this, supply us information, under RTI Act, like who are the officials responsible for this and what action has the authorities have taken against them?
It is a shocking incident. It is high time the Civic authority at the highest level to wake up and Implement improvements/ mordenisation in their infrastructure.
