What is GEPCO doing to control excessive supply failures due to kite flying with metallic wire?
|
Ans: The problem is being tackled on the technical level by covering the Grid Stations equipment with guard wires and nets. At the administrative and legal level, patrole teams are organized to nab the culprits using the metallic wires and handing them over to the Police for registering cases against them. However, public support is very necessary to curb this practice. GEPCO solicits public support by organizing walks, seminars and appeals through print/electronic media.
