Exposed power cables in Arundhati Nagar kill pets, livestock; residents slam govt inaction

CHENNAI: Walking the streets of Arundhati Nagar in Thiru Vi Ka Nagar, Chennai has turned a scary undertaking for residents owing to several drooping, exposed electrical cables spreading out from the junction boxes.

Several domestic animals and pets, including dogs and goats, have died of electrocution from the exposed wires, especially near the open junction box in Kandan Street, residents said.
