Jhabua : These days, many electric wires can be seen hanging down from the electric poles in many colonies. A severe mishap may occur if any vehicle comes in contact with these wires. On the other hand, wires of the high-tension line are hanging amid the roads and they often come in direct contact of the heavy vehicles such as trucks, dumpers, etc. If the vehicles come in their contact, power-cut is observed in the city for hours.
