Downed wires in Hyderabad prompt urgent resolution
Hyderabad: The presence of downed wires, servicing electricity and internet functions, poses a hazard in various locations across Hyderabad, including flyovers and local streets. Residents are concerned about the potential danger to lives, especially during the monsoon season, when there is an increased risk of electric shock. As a result, the concerned authorities, the Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana (TGSPDCL), are urged to promptly dispatch a team to address these infrastructure issues in response to the collective request from residents.
While speaking with the Hyderabad Mail, Ahmed, a resident of Begumpet, said, “I have noticed many electric and WiFi wires hanging down to the floor, which is very dangerous for commuters and residents passing through those locations. Whenever it rains, if an electric wire gets mixed with water, it could result in an electric shock and even death.”

Ahmed said that officials from FiberNet frequently address cases of wires being dislodged for various reasons. He also suggested that TGSPDCL, the electricity department, should conduct inspections and make necessary repairs and changes.
Furthermore, a proactive citizen, Adarsh, has taken the initiative to raise a complaint via ‘X’ (presumably a social media platform) or Twitter. In his message, he asks, “@GHMCOnline, I am uncertain about the appropriate category for this request. There are cable wires suspended over the road, potentially leading to accidents. Immediate attention to this matter is crucial, and the responsible parties should be held accountable. The location is Ushodaya Enclave, Indra Reddy Allwyn Colony, Hafeezpet, Hyderabad.”
One of the ‘X’ users posted a message on a social media platform, requesting assistance addressing the dangerously hanging wires in front of his gate.
Citizens experiencing electricity issues can submit their complaints online via the official website of the Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana (TSSPDCL): https://webportal.tgsouthernpower.org/NPC/.
