Actually, I suspect that many do, but it is seldom if ever reported. I feel sorry for the poor lineman who has to carry out repairs wearing only chappals and no protective gear or gloves, especially during the rains. I still see the lineman pushing his bicycle with a bamboo ladder attached to repair street lights. Since I live off the beaten path, when he comes to repair the street light near my house, he asks to borrow my bamboo ladder. . Especially in the rains, one sees sodden tree branches brushing against live electrical lines sometimes resulting in sparks. Who do we blame ? The poor electrical linemen, his bosses or the politicians who control the pursestrings ? One questions whether India will ever reach the status of a world power when for decades there are no improvements at the local level.
