Man climbs high-voltage pole to raise environment issues
The Morning Standard
|October 24, 2024
IN an unusual yet dangerous way to protest, a 42-year-old man climbed a high-voltage electric pole in the Khadar area of East Delhi on Wednesday to press the government to take urgent steps to protect the environment.
Police identified the person as Madhusudan Biswas. The incident unfolded around noon when a PCR call was received at the Geeta Colony Police Station reporting that a man had climbed an electric pole.
A police team, along with an Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV), reached the spot, where the person was found perched dangerously on the high-voltage pole, tied to it with ropes. Delhi Fire Service was immediately informed, which dispatched a rescue vehicle to the spot.
