A heartbreaking tragedy in Hyderabad has sparked outrage and questions over civic negligence. Following heavy rains and strong winds on June 12, a neem tree uprooted and fell on a family's car. As father Sandeep and his daughter Prithika tried to move the vehicle, a live electric wire that had snapped during the storm came into contact with the fallen tree, electrocuting both. Sandeep's wife survived with injuries. Family members and locals allege repeated calls to the electricity department went unanswered despite multiple complaints. Days after the incident, questions continue to be raised over delayed emergency response, accountability, and the absence of any official compensation announcement.
