Newskarnataka-Bantwal
Bantwal:An electric pole has dangerously collapsed on the road side in front of the Vittal old bus stand on Vittal-Puttur road on September 5, Thursday morning.
The entire electric pole came crashing down after a lorry hit the rope that was tied to the pole to enable to put up a banner. Pedestrians dreaded to use the road that links Kalashipalya fearing that they may come into contact with live wire. The MESCOM staff rushed to the spot after locals informed the local branch officer Praveen Kottari. The MESCOM staff later initiated the staff of clearing the electric pole from the place.
