Waterlogged Delhi Road Forces Schoolgirls To Hold Onto Electricity Transformer Grill While Walking | Viral Video

An alarming video from Delhi has gone viral on social media, showing schoolgirls walking through a waterlogged road while holding onto the metal grill surrounding an electricity transformer to avoid stepping into deeper water. The clip has sparked safety concerns online, with many questioning the potential risk of electrocution.The video was originally shared on Instagram and has since spread across X. In the clip, several schoolgirls can be seen holding the grilled enclosure around the transformer as they carefully walk along the edge of the flooded road. The road is completely waterlogged, while vehicles attempting to pass through can also be seen getting stuck and partially submerged.The person recording the video can be heard saying in Hindi,

"Aur yeh transformer, aur transformer ke aas-paas paani bhara pada hai. Aur yeh school ki bacchiyaan hain jo transformer pakad kar ja rahi hain. Ismein se kisi ko bhi current laga toh kaun zimmedaar hoga?" ("There is water accumulated around this transformer, and these schoolgirls are holding onto it while walking. If any one of them gets electrocuted, who will be responsible?")The Instagram post was captioned (translated into English): "Only around 500 metres of this road has remained incomplete for years, even though the roads on both sides have been fully constructed. As a result, the stretch remains waterlogged throughout the year. Schoolchildren, elderly people, and local residents use this road every day. The biggest concern is that an electricity transformer is located right next to this stretch. With water constantly accumulating around it, there is a serious risk of an accident or electrocution at any time. We request the authorities to take immediate notice of this issue and complete the construction of this 500-metre stretch so that a tragedy can be prevented rather than waiting for an accident to happen. The video clearly shows the ground reality. Kindly take this matter seriously."
