The news report titled ‘A dangerous situation in Ponda’ was published in the Citizen Herald edition dated July 03, 2017.
The report had highlighted the branches of an adjoining tree leaning towards the live electrical wires near Almeida High School in Ponda.
Taking cognizance of the news report, the electricity department pruned the branches in close proximity to the wires on the above day itself. Due to the timely action by the department, a possible tragedy has been averted. I thank the department for the prompt action in public interest and the Herald team for highlighting the issue.
