Residents of Latana in Mohali district warn that a network of tangled overhead wires continues to threaten public safety.
A dense web of exposed overhead wires has been reported in the village of Latana, located in Mohali district of Punjab. The tangled cables stretch across streets and alleys, creating a hazardous environment for pedestrians and motorists alike.
Local residents say the chaotic wiring has already caused several near‑miss incidents, with people tripping over dangling lines and vehicles scraping against them. The lack of proper insulation and clear pathways has heightened fear of electrical shocks and fire hazards.
Community leaders have appealed to municipal authorities to clear the wires and install a regulated power supply system. Officials are being urged to prioritize the removal of the tangled network to prevent potential accidents and ensure safety for the village populace.
