    In India most of the Mishaps are taking place due to poor safety issues. During the rainy season so many transformers explode but still there is no one held responsible. Same like the Bore well cap.

    Govt. spend so many lakhs to drill the bore well but cannot spend a few hundreds to cap an empty bore well. Again Govt. spend a few lakhs to remove a child from the bore well. Additional money Spent to remove the child should be recovered from the contractor and Panchayat president & MLA.

    RIP Umesh

    Rajesh D.Dubai,you have right.But the problem here is Govt is giving out,but doesnt check that is the biggest problem .where are these lacs or crores are gone?is the work really done properly,or gone in the gutter.Noone is interested this operation to take up at the end and is done as it should be.roads etc. are repaired with mud statt as it should be.when rain comes same condition.same with bridges too.Electric cables should be placed underground.In monsoon they are dangerous and have lost many lifes.Same time I find motorcycle drivers too should drive carefully instead of simply rushing.Monsoon is a dangerous time.I mean generally.So sad he could not escape this tragody.May his soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathy to the family.

    So Sad !RIP My friend!
    Social /emotional consequences of his absence to the family would be enormous.
    Who will own up the responsibility ??

    How can a HT cable be left hanging ? Power distributing company should be fined heavily for this callous & inefficient attitude!

    Entire Government /public service departments have this " DON'T CARE ATTITUDE" towards normal citizens . Individually we should take care of our own safety , without depending up on these corrupt departments

    Lost life will not come back but who is responsible? In Lebanon the entire government resigned after the blast taking responsibility for their failure. Will our local power officials take any responsibility here?
