HESCO’s deadly negligence

At least three people died during recent rains in Hyderabad due to electrocution. This shows how dangerous and outdated the electricity network has become. Instead of fixing its system, the Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (Hesco) blames the weather. Families should not have to fear for their lives whenever clouds gather. Hospitals and homes also suffered long power cuts, adding to the chaos. How many more lives must be lost before Hesco is forced to act responsibly? Citizens pay heavy bills, but do not get safe electricity in return. The authorities must step in. Lives are too precious to be lost to negligence.
