Bengaluru citizens complain about hazard posed by electricity infrastructure to pedestrians
Walking on the streets of Bengaluru has turned into a scary affair due to dangling wires and exposed electricity infrastructure. In many localities, tangled wires can be seen dangling from electricity poles and even streetlight poles.
Apart from the danger posed by wires, the doors of several Ring Main Units (RMU), which are set up on footpaths, are open. It is not unusual for wires to be sneaking out of them. On many transformers, the doors of control boxes are open.
As many as 10 patients, who reported with chest pain and related symptoms, got a new lease of life in taluk hospitals in Karnataka over the last 10 days, thanks to early diagnosis and treatment under the State’s Puneeth Rajkumar Hrudaya Jyothi Yojane. Of the 12 patients, who reported with symptoms of heart attack, doctors were able to save the lives of 10 by administering Tenecteplase injection, a first-line treatment for this cardiac condition.
