The incident brings to the limelight a serious issue—public safety and infrastructure maintenance. The presence of live wires in such a dangerous position can only point toward the major lapse, not only in proper safety protocols but also in the proper intervention at the right time by the local authorities. There has been public outcry toward better vigilance and prompt action to avoid such tragedies.
This should be a reminder that regular maintenance and inspection need to be done on all public utilities. The community, while mourning the loss of a young one, and standing in one spirit with the surviving student, is demanding greater accountability and improved safety measures so that no such kind of accident gets to happen again.
