Tilting pole sparks safety concerns at Upperpally Junction

Hyderabad: A pole at the bustling junction of Upperpally is dangerously tilting, posing a significant threat to pedestrians and commuters in the area. Immediate action from the concerned authorities is crucial to avert potential accidents and save lives.
While talking to the Hyderabad Mail, a TG Citizen, who is an admin and a responsible citizen (and who prefers not to reveal his name), stated βThere’s a utility pole located in a busy junction area of Upperpally that poses a safety hazard to pedestrians and commuters passing through the area. I have reported it.β
The citizen said that he thought officials would act promptly, but it seems they have not acted until now. He hopes that it won’t harm anyone; otherwise, someone will definitely die or get injured.
