Low-hanging power lines leave Chhatarpur school community at risk

Residents in Chhatarpur district say electricity lines are hanging close to the ground near a school, creating an accident risk for children and other passers-by. Khabar Lahariya's local report documents the hazard and community concern. The material supplied does not say whether the electricity utility has inspected the site, isolated the line or scheduled repairs.

Why it matters

Exposed or sagging distribution lines near a school turn routine travel into a potentially lethal hazard and test how quickly local utilities respond to documented public-safety failures.

Evidence assessment

Khabar Lahariya identifies the location and reported danger; utility records, measurements and a formal response are not available.

Low confidence — A credible local warning establishes a safety concern, but technical verification and the responsible agency's action remain unresolved.
