Recently, a accident occurred in Savoi Vernem when a tree fell on electricity poles, damaging them. Luckily, the road was empty, and nobody got hurt. Locals are worried and want new electricity poles installed. They say the old poles were already weak and should be replaced with new ones. This incident highlights the importance of regular maintenance of trees and electricity poles to prevent such accidents. Moreover, there are several electricity poles in Goa that are slightly bent and at risk of falling, posing a significant threat to public safety. To prevent such incidents in the future, it is essential that the government and electricity department take proactive measures. Regular maintenance and inspection of electricity poles should be conducted to identify and replace old and weak poles. Additionally, trees near electricity poles should be trimmed or removed to prevent them from falling and causing damage. Locals should also be encouraged to report any damaged or weak poles to the authorities immediately. By working together, we can ensure public safety and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
