Tragic Sequence of Events Unfolds During High-Tension Wire Bird Rescue Operation

In accordance with information provided by the fire brigade, a distress call was received this morning by the Bhopal Fire Brigade reporting a bird entangled on a high-tension wire near Dev Residency on Bhopal-Ghuma Road. Responding promptly to the call, Bhopal Fire Station employee Anil Parmar, accompanied by his team, swiftly arrived at the scene to address the bird rescue operation.

In the line of duty, Anil Parmar ascended to retrieve the trapped bird. Tragically, during the rescue attempt, his hand made contact with the high-tension wire, resulting in an immediate and perilous situation.

Investigation Launched to Determine Responsibility for Operation Without Shutdown of High Tension Line

An inquiry has been initiated to uncover the circumstances leading to the tragic incident involving Anil Parmar, wherein a bird rescue operation was conducted without shutting down the high-tension power line. Standard protocol dictates that, during any rescue call involving high-tension wires, the line must be shut down to ensure the safety of personnel.

The ongoing investigation will scrutinize the chain of command and determine under whose instructions the operation proceeded without adhering to the necessary safety measures. Questions surrounding the decision-making process and whether proper protocols were communicated and followed will be thoroughly examined.
