A farmer and his son were left hanging from a power cable while protesting against the laying of high-tension cable through their agricultural field. The duo stayed suspended for about 15
minutes before loosing grip and injuring themselves, reports _Pune Mirror_. The incident took place in Andhra Pradesh’s Anantpur district on Sunday when Karnataka State Electricity Board
officials, along with a contractor, were laying power lines between Madakasira village in Andhra Pradesh and Pavagada in Tumukur district of Karnataka. With the power lines passing through
their field, a local farmer K Nabi Rasool and his son Vanoor Saheb approached the contractors and demanded to be compensated for it. When asked to come back later, they held on to the wire
in a manner of protest. THE CONTRACTOR ASKED HIS MEN TO RAISE THE WIRE AND THE DUO WAS LEFT HANGING FROM IT AT A HEIGHT OF 30 FEET. They soon lost hold and fell to the ground. As per a
_India Today _report, Vanoor was injured and admitted to a hospital in Hindupur. The KSEB officials had reportedly promised a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the farmer but have paid only Rs
90,000 so far. (Feature image source: YouTube)
