DEC seeks fencing around open transformers

By Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, July 7 - The District Electric Committee (DEC) headed by the Kamrup (Metro) Deputy Commissioner today appealed to the Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) to put fences around transformers which are located in low lying areas.

Sources said the Committee has also asked APDCL to restore and replace loose wires and directed electricity safety audits in vulnerable areas.

The Committee asked APDCL to cut off branches from trees which are touching power lines and to conduct a campaign regarding safety precautions to be taken during floods in the city.

It has also asked APDCL not to resort to random power cuts, but to take action depending on the situation when water level rises following heavy rainfall.
