however with proper precuations it can be safely used.
The highlighted is the operative phrase.
The transformer is mounted about 8' above ground
( extrapolated from the approximate diameter of
the pole being about 10"). That may be a
reasonable height off the ground. But not
necessarily so, if the population is uneducated
about it. Can they be uneducated? You tell us
:-).

I can't tell from the picture what the height
is. I'd expect the height to be safe if designed
by electrical engineers/designers. It is common
to mount stepdown transformers on poles, at
least in USA.
The voltage on the secondary side can't be more than 440V in India.
If the poles are not too high, there should be barrier around it, I agree.
Electricity can be dangerous, however with
proper precuations it can be safely used.

Can electricity be fearful? Particularly when
such high voltage seems to be located at arm's

I found this interesting. Why is the
installation considered dangerous? A stepdown
transformer has to be installed where the
consumption is. There appears to be ample space
around the transformer.
Is it the fear of electricity that prompted the picture and the report?

a thickly-populated area of Panpur in
Jamugurihat may prove to be a cause of fatality
any day. Photo: Itakhola Correspondent
