Power utilities in the State have made necessary arrangements for safety and to ensure uninterrupted power supply to Ganesh ‘pandals’ during the 11-day festivities starting from September 10. Chairman and Managing Director of Southern Discom (TSSPDCL) G. Raghuma Reddy on Thursday reviewed the arrangements being made and appealed to general public and pandal organisers – Ganesh Utsava Committees – to follow safety precautions. He suggested the organisers not to allow anybody, other than the power utilities’ staff, to climb electricity poles for temporary electricity connections and instead take proper connection by approaching the departmental staff. Use of service wire with standard specifications, use of proper capacity multi-circuit breakers (MCBs) for protection and safety, examine the surroundings of power line locations before taking up any electrical work in and outside the pandals and not allow children to come close to power lines, poles and other hazardous electrical equipment. He also asked the pandal organisers not to allow anybody get in contact with snapped electrical conductor/wire and alert the electricity staff immediately by calling 1912 or 100 or local fuse off call office.More Related News
