Lineman swims across rivulet to restore power in Udupi


Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (MS)

Udupi, Sep 27: A Hebri MESCOM lineman swam 70 feet across a rivulet to replace a broken electricity line and restore power to a home. The act of bravery by Pramod has been widely appreciated by the public.

Several days had passed since the electricity line, which runs through the middle of the Moorusaalu rivulet in Uppala under Shivapura village, had broken. Heavy rains delayed the repair work, causing significant inconvenience to the nearby villagers.

Pramod, a Mescom employee from Channagiri in Davanagere, along with part-time helper Sudhir, swam across the rivulet and repaired the damaged line. While swimming, Pramod tied a rope to one end of the severed wire and reconnected it upon reaching the other side, successfully restoring power to the area.

Villagers and the general public praised Pramod’s courage in restoring electricity to a community that had been without power for several days.

    MESCOM must be penalized by the Regulatory Authorities for employing their employees on high risk electrical or installation jobs without any safety equipment. The above photo proves it and so can all people in Udupi and Mangalore vouch for it. Sadly in India, the authorities do their jobs only when something bad has happened and do not control bad circumstances.

    i will just call this as foolishness...Risking ones life to give some facility to others...mostly people nowadays do this for social media appreciation....recently the track guards themselves removed the fish plate bolts of railway track and informed the authorities and fixed it back to get name, fame, award and night shift duty so that they can do other work during day time...
