Worries approximately excessive tension wires dominated the masses of issues raised using power purchasers at the DH-PV smartphone-in. Most Bescom officials hoped all such strains could be converted into underground cables. Many desired to hear the truth from Bescom Managing Director C Shikha, who took more than 10 calls on the issue inside the program organized by way of Prajavani and Deccan Herald.
Following a spate of fatal accidents regarding excessive anxiety wires, Bescom officers served notices to 7,482 buildings that violated guidelines and built vertical systems below the energy strains. V Ranganathan from Subbanna Garden in Vijayanagar asked whether his residence with the “simplest ground floor” underneath the high anxiety line was safe. Nagaraju from Tumakuru sought to know whether it changed into safe to build a residence 1.5 m far from an excessive anxiety line. H Shivanna from Channapatna requested whether the excessive tension line passing his residence can be transformed into an underground cable line.
Officials obtained details from the callers and promised that the engineers below respective jurisdictions would visit them soon for inspection. The callers have been suggested not to nurture false hopes. The plan to convert overhead high anxiety lines becomes restricted to the distribution strains below Bescom and now not the KPTCL transmission strains.
Power cuts
After several men and women complained of repeated energy cuts, Shikha explained that Bescom had given line clearance in some areas for improvement works, which affected strength delivery like the Bannerghatta Road where the BBMP and BMRCL have taken up works. Some of the callers alerted the government regarding energy robbery and sagging transmission strains posing a chance.
