Mp News : Advisory issued to villagers for safety from electricity

The electricity distribution company has issued an advisory to keep an eye on electricity safety precautions for rural people. In rural areas, many times unpleasant incidents occur due to careless use of electricity. During the summer season, such accidents often result in loss of life and property on a large scale. To be safe from these, the Central Region Electricity Distribution Company has appealed to the villagers to take precautions. It has been said in the appeal that one should never tamper with electrical lines, equipment and poles because doing so is a punishable offense under the Electricity Act 2003. Even the slightest carelessness or tampering can lead to big dangers.

Villagers have been appealed not to accidentally touch the lines through which electric power flows, which may break due to storm or any other reason. During this time, it will be necessary to immediately inform the nearest electricity company officer or electrical employee about the line break. For this, as per requirement, some responsible persons should be directed and appointed to warn other passengers.

Farmers have been advised not to build tall haystacks, heaps of harvested crops, huts, houses or tents in fields, barns etc. under or very close to power lines. Do not remove carts loaded with grains, straw etc. from under power lines, this poses a risk of fire and loss of life.

At many places, children, while playing kites or langar, get various types of threads and strings entangled in power lines. Stop them from doing this. Never allow children to climb a pole to retrieve a kite stuck in the lines. On the one hand, this will help in avoiding accidents and on the other hand, you will also be able to avoid financial loss.
