The series of electric poles and high-pressure generators on the pedestrian roads is still continuing, and has become a prominent feature that dominates most of the sites in the residential neighborhoods of Jazan, and some of them are adjacent to residential buildings and schools. This poses a threat to the lives of citizens and visual distortion in the area.
Okaz monitored the random columns scattered in separate locations in the neighborhoods of Jazan. The people are calling on the concerned authorities to remove them and deal with their situation, after they have become a visual distortion and a threat to passers-by.
Hassan Al-Hazmi told Okaz that the electric poles and generators were placed in random ways in different locations, in addition to the danger that may result from them being adjacent to buildings and schools. Describing this as a danger to passers-by, he was surprised by what he called haphazard planning, pointing out that most of the poles and generators were planted near schools and entrances to buildings, calling on the concerned authorities to address the situation.
For his part, Hussein Muhammad said that the electric poles and generators that were planted near schools and residential buildings threaten a catastrophe in the event of an electrical short circuit, and pointed out that the presence of electric poles in the middle of the roads impedes traffic and causes traffic accidents, especially during peak hours.
Abd al-Rahman Omar agreed with him, and added that the electricity poles, some of them in the middle of the roads, are close to a number of schools and educational complexes, for example, the al-Rawdha neighborhood. Omar added that erecting electricity poles and generators indiscriminately is a real danger, and it is hoped that the concerned authorities will remove them and remedy the situation, as students and passers-by are not immune from danger on a daily basis.
As for Khaled Mahmoud, he said: The neighborhoods of the city of Jazan suffer from random planning in the distribution of columns and generators within separate locations in the city, some of which are placed adjacent to buildings or at the entrances and exits of public or secondary intersections, and this may lead to accidents. Ali Masoud calls on the Electricity Company to address the visual distortions resulting from the random planning in the distribution of poles and generators.
