Video: Telangana man walks on high-tension wires, netizens call him 'Indian Spiderman'

In a chilling video that has emerged online, a dauntless worker ascended on two power lines in order to remove a stranded tree branch after the village lost power in south India's Telangana. Shared on Twitter, the nearly 2-minute-long clip was shot in Nizampur area in Sangareddy district that depicts an electricity department employee named Noor who mounted on the high-tension wire to remove the branch that had caused the power failure.  

With over 300 views recently, the clip is being widely shared across social media as users are stunned by the man’s guts and his ability to be able to withstand the gusty winds and keep a balance on the thin wires. With an intention to fix the blackout in the village, Noor could be seen resilient in his pursuit as he dwindles back and forth on the electricity wires, while carefully holding one of the power lines in his hands to avoid a fall. Despite shaking tremendously, Noor manages to grab the branch as he plucks it out in one swift move while the gasping onlookers cheered at his bravery. He then sprints back on the wires towards the wooden pole to safety in a breath-taking incident.
