Rainy Day – Cautions

And this goes to all of the Street Walkers – BEWARE from the fact that on a rainy day there’s high chance of some electric / telephony poles having current/”also known as earth” passing through.

I ran into a same incident on China Chowk at Shahr-e-Aiwan-e-Tijarat when a poor guy accidentally placed his hand on telephone drop pole to save himself from slippery footpath but got caught by a bad electric shock. Fortunately it was a telephony pole (which has far less energy than a electric pole) – Lahore Traffic Police stabilized the person and RESCUE 1122 was called on and he was rushed to Trauma Center in a conscious state. All good wishes & prayers for him.

    Please practice extra caution while on the roads during rains. Such incidents are real and cause grave danger to your life.

    Stay safe!

    Good piece of advice… however, a minor note to the author: You might wanna check the meaning of “Street Walker”…
