A heartwarming video from Sambhal district in Uttar Pradesh has gone viral on social media, showcasing how a simple plea by two young girls led to swift administrative action. The clip shows the girls directly appealing to the District Magistrate of Sambhal, requesting the removal of high-voltage electricity wires passing dangerously from their home’s rooftop.
In the video, the girls explain that the overhead wires have been non-functional for nearly 15 years but continue to pose a safety risk. They state that because of these unused high-voltage lines, their family has been unable to add additional floors to their house, fearing serious accidents. It seems that their family had earlier approached the authorities through official channels, but the complaint was allegedly ignored.
