Hi, We stay in Mico Layout just opposite Santhiniketan school. Two months back, a big electricity pole was erected in front of our house to supply electricity to the school as per the founder’s wish. We were neither consulted nor informed. (There is also another big pole just 10 metres away.)Now this pole has turned into a menace with people using it to throw garbage, with men peeing facing our compound wall, and with the pole itself bursting several times in a week. It is also unsafe with children hovering around it. We would like to get this pole removed but don’t know how to proceed. Someone suggested bribing the electricity board which would cost tens of thousands) but I want to do it the legal way. Regards, Shabana
