Electricity poles with high tension wires in a pool of sewer water sounds dangerous; but this is a reality.
This green belt is located on a 25-meter-wide road between National Highway-24 and Nyay Khand-I. The sewage water from Khoda village and high rise buildings, which are located nearby, gets accumulated in this green belt as the new drain, which was developed by the Ghaziabad Development Authority for disposing sewage water, is broken at many places. "The authorities are not doing anything to ease the situation. Once on complaining about the issue to the GDA, we were assured that water would be pumped out from the belt. But it didn't help as when they tried to pump out the water, it accumulated again and again. The electricity, which passes through these poles, is of 33000 volts. A major mishap can occur any time. Authorities should think and act as soon as possible," said Sudhir Mishra, president, Indirapuram Purvanchal Samiti.
Some residents also suggest that if a new drain is constructed or the broken drain is repaired near the green belt to drain out the overflow of sewage of Kheda and other societies, then this problem can be solved.
As per engineers, an electricity pole is around two-and-a-half meter below the ground and since these poles are submerged in water for so long, their base can be affected badly. The moisture can harm the metal which can further weaken the base forcing the pole to collapse. "The GDA should urgently pump out water from this green belt before it gets too late. Moreover, electricity department should make some provisions around the poles so that in future, the water doesn't touch the poles," suggests Mahesh Chauhan, another resident.
Nyay Khand-II power supply executive engineer Mahesh Upadhyay said, "We will inform the GDA about this problem through a letter and will ask them to find a solution for it soon."
