Allegedly two sisters got electrocuted when they accidentally stepped on an electric wire in Chennai, today. The negligence of TNEB staff was supposedly the reason for this mishap. Earlier in the day, Kamal Haasan had tweeted about this issue, and now it's actor Vishal's turn.

"It's pathetic to see recurring deaths due to the same scenario every other time when we have a natural calamity be it Heavy Rains, Cyclone, Flood etc...

We see Farmers die every year & we see Innocent people being electrocuted during rains.

How long are we going to face the same situation? Aren't we suppose to rectify our mistakes & see to that it doesn't happen again ?

What is that we are trying to convey? Is our City ill-equipped and we will have to face all these haphazard* and do we have to experience such Deaths @ such times ?

It's really sad & totally uncalled for....This has happened several times in the past...

Since we have not addressed these issues on a war footing I think we should rather confirm that Chennai is still not well equipped in terms of overcoming heavy rains, floods, cyclones etc...

How many more people do we have to sacrifice to make people mend their mistakes ?

This is a CRIME, not a Mistake but a CRIME !!

VISHAL
