(Baonghean.vn) - For many years, residents of Hamlet 1, Lang Son Commune (Anh Son District) have lived in constant anxiety and worry due to the unsafe electrical wiring system in the area.There have been many accidents related to electrical safety in Hamlet 1, including two buffaloes belonging to local residents that were electrocuted to death in 2014. Given the current situation, no one knows what terrible things might happen, especially during the rainy season.
 |
| The power line in Hamlet 1, Lang Son Commune, is nearly 2km long and is an overhead line that was connected and installed by the residents of the hamlet with their own money in 1996. After nearly 20 years of use, it has now seriously deteriorated. |
 |
| This power line serves the lighting needs of 25 households.Due to the lengthy installation time and lack of investment and upgrades, the power lines have become a constant source of worry for residents.Many sections of the utility poles have broken or fallen, and this is the main "reinforcement" measure. |
 |
| The utility poles, made of bamboo, could break and fall at any time. |
 |
| No one would dare imagine what would happen to power lines like this on a rainy day. |
 |
| Utility poles and power lines are covered by plants grown by local residents. |
 |
| A tree fell on the power lines. |
 |
| There are points where overhead power lines are running deep into the tree trunks. |
 |
| An electrical wire touched a potted plant belonging to a household in Hamlet 1, Lang Son. |
 |
| The power lines hung down, almost touching the newly sprouted corn plants. |
 |
| The beginning and end sections of the power line appear "better" thanks to some concrete posts installed by Anh Son Power Company. |
 |
| Only the beginning and end sections of the power line are covered in plastic. |
 |
| And even with the plastic covering, the installation is not guaranteed to be safe. |
 |
| Meanwhile, the electrical system of Hamlet 1 has been taken over by the Anh Son Power Branch for more than 5 years now. However, investment in upgrading and ensuring electrical safety has not yet been implemented. |
