2 children lose arms in this Greater Noida village that has a shock at any turn
Noida: Life will be a long battle for Taimur and Zara. For their families too. In back-to-back accidents reported from houses, just lanes apart at Greater Noida's Accheja Buzurg village, the two children, aged 7 and 13, respectively, were left maimed. Taimur lost both his forearms and Zara's right arm had to be amputated from the shoulder after they suffered powerful shocks. The similarities were too many. Both incidents happened in May. Both the children were playing on the roofs of their houses when they accidentally touched the perilously low-hanging 11,000kV wire, stretched precariously within the touching distance above their houses.

The youngest of four siblings, Taimur had climbed onto a neighbour's rooftop with friends when he touched the exposed wire, screaming in pain as electricity surged through his small body. By the time he could be taken to the hospital, the damage had been done.

Now, the Ali household is gripped in a daily routine of hospital visits every other day, power backup for a newly installed air conditioner—a necessity now, not a luxury—and sleepless nights spent checking for pus in Taimur's wounds. "The boy still doesn't understand what has happened. He keeps asking me where his hands went," Naushad says, his voice cracking. "And I have no answer." What makes this tragedy harder to digest is that warnings had been given. Naushad says he had raised the issue repeatedly with local authorities, including the district magistrate. Yet, no action was taken. On July 14, he filed a case against officials of the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL), naming Dankaur's junior engineer (JE), sub divisional officer (SDO), executive engineer (XEN) and other officials under BNS sections 289 (negligent conduct with respect to machinery) and 125b (act endangering life or personal safety of others). "But does this really capture what they did—or didn't do—to prevent this?" he asks. "I will fight till someone is held accountable." Just weeks earlier, Zara, a teenager visiting her grandmother's house during school holidays, had suffered a similar fate. She was playing with her cousins on the terrace when her hand brushed against a wire draped across the edge. She screamed. Her aunt saw it happen and shouted for help. "Family members rushed upstairs and used a stick to pry her away from the cable. But it was too late. Zara lost her right arm. Since then, she's been hospitalised for months, undergoing surgeries and struggling to walk," says Naseem, her mother, who now splits her time between home and hospital, helping her daughter re-learn everything from sitting up to using the toilet. "I don't know how long I can do this. Zara had big dreams. I just don't know if we can keep those dreams alive. For now, we just want her to be brave," she says. Both families point to the same threat—the high-tension transmission line. Like a giant snake, the cables seem to have coiled themselves around houses and streets of the village along with a chaotic web of cable, phone and internet lines, and in places dangle just above head height, forcing locals to dodge their way through while walking on the road. TOI found makeshift poles, even tree branches, support this tangled web. During monsoon, sparks are common in places where insulation has worn thin. Fatima, whose daughter Ikra suffered a shock while leaning over the ledge to watch a camel a few months ago, says she no longer lets her five children go to the terrace. "There are poles so close to the house that during rains, the current runs through the walls. Sometimes loose cables lie on the road. We've given up complaining. No one listens," she says. Mushaida, another resident whose daughter Muskaan narrowly escaped a similar fate, said they built a ledge to prevent direct contact with the wires. "We did what we could do. After Taimur's accident, the power officials didn't move the wire. They just added an angle iron to shift it slightly. Is that a solution?" The danger isn't confined to rooftops. Tahseen, a resident of neighbouring Usmanpur, who visited Achheja Buzurg for a DJ event, had a narrow escape while crossing a road. "My head brushed against a hanging live wire. It knocked me to the ground with a powerful jolt. I survived, but the trauma has stayed. It haunts me," he says. "Why is no one fixing this?" Though located just 8km from Dankaur, Achheja Buzurg's basic infrastructure has been ignored for years, too. A 2023 study, titled "Smart and Sustainable Village: Urbanising Achheja Buzurg", undertaken by researchers from Galgotias University, painted a bleak picture. It noted that the village received irregular, low-voltage electricity through a web of exposed cables, solar lights didn't work, and that drainage network, parks and solid waste management was virtually absent. Rahat Ali, Taimur's grandfather and a former village pradhan, says he's raised the issue with authorities several times over the years. "Not a leaf moved," he says. The district administration, when questioned, offered reassurances. DM Manish Verma told TOI that he had "issued a warning to the chief engineer to rectify the issues in Dankaur" and ensure no such incident happens again. A senior UPPCL official told TOI that surveys conducted earlier had found that residents had extended their homes or added floors, bringing rooftops closer to existing poles which were installed before the homes were built. "We are planning to serve notices to those who have built or extended their homes too close to the power lines," he said. "Loose wiring will be identified and repaired." But to the families already devastated, that's too little, too late. Questions loom. Why weren't these wires insulated or raised higher when new construction started? Why didn't repeated complaints prompt preventive action? And how long before another child becomes the next victim? In the absence of accountability and a permanent solution, life as many knew it in Achheja Buzurg has retreated indoors.
