(Baonghean.vn) - For many years, people in Hamlet 1, Lang Son Commune (Anh Son) have always lived in fear and anxiety because of the unsafe power line system here.There have been many accidents related to electrical safety in Hamlet 1, including 2 buffaloes of the villagers being electrocuted to death in 2014. With the current situation, no one knows what the worst can be, especially during the rainy season.
 |
| The power line in Hamlet 1, Lang Son Commune, is nearly 2km long. It is an exposed line that was connected and installed by the villagers in 1996. After nearly 20 years of use, it has now seriously degraded. |
 |
| This power line serves the lighting needs of 25 households.Because the installation time is too long and there is no investment or upgrading, the power line has become a constant worry for the people.There are many broken electric poles and this is the main "reinforcement" measure. |
 |
| Electric poles made of bamboo can break at any time. |
 |
| No one would dare imagine what would happen to the power lines like this on a rainy day. |
 |
| Electric poles and power lines covered by people's crops |
 |
| The tree fell on the power line. |
 |
| There are points where exposed electrical wires are embedded deep into the tree trunk. |
 |
| Electric wire touched ornamental plants of a household in Hamlet 1, Lang Son. |
 |
| The electric wire hung down almost touching the newly emerged corn plants. |
 |
| The beginning and end of the line seem to be "better" because of some concrete piles installed by Anh Son Electricity. |
 |
| Only the beginning and end of the line are covered with plastic. |
 |
| And even if it is covered with plastic, the installation is not guaranteed to be safe. |
 |
| Meanwhile, the electrical system of hamlet 1 has been taken over by Anh Son Electricity Branch for more than 5 years now. However, the investment in renovation and ensuring electrical safety has not been carried out yet. |
