Testing driving skills? Bizarre video shows electricity poles erected in the middle of road in Himachal Pradesh - watch

A social media user in a video takes a sarcastic jab at Himachal Pradesh's Public Works Department over the questionable placement of electricity poles right in the middle of the road.

The viral video was shared by X user @raavan_india where he compared Himachal Pradesh's infrastructure blunders with Bihar, where trees were reportedly planted in the middle of roads.

"While Bihar plants trees on roads, Himachal has taken it a step further by installing electricity poles," the man quips in the video, highlighting the absurdity of such infrastructure decisions.

He also says that the road has become a tourist spot as citizens are travelling to witness the bizarre road. "This is very entertaining, this place has become a tourist place. People visit here to see this wonder”.

He humorously suggested that these strategically placed poles serve a unique purpose - to test drivers' skills and reflexes.

Netizens on social media reacted to the concerning issue, where one intriguingly interjected, ‘Were poles erected first or the road was made first?’


The incident has also sparked discussions about the need for better coordination between different government departments during infrastructure development projects.
