In M. Singipuram village, Manyam district, Andhra Pradesh, a disturbing incident involving an intoxicated man highlighted the dangers of alcohol abuse. The man, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings due to excessive drinking, was observed climbing an electricity pylon. Despite pleas from onlookers, he continued his ascent, reaching the very top and precariously lying across the live wires.
Fearing for his life, the villagers swiftly took action, de-energizing the transformer to prevent electrocution. The man remained unresponsive, swaying dangerously on the wires, his intoxicated state rendering him unaware of the imminent peril. The tense standoff ended with a careful and cautious rescue operation orchestrated by the villagers, who successfully brought him down to safety.
A video of the incident, which quickly went viral on social media, showcases both the man’s reckless behavior and the villagers’ swift and decisive intervention. The local police are reportedly investigating the matter. This event serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable and potentially life-threatening consequences of alcohol abuse.
