Srinagar: Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) Friday advised the people to avoid forcible entries inside the high-voltage prohibited zones of KPDCL and putting their lives at risk by interfering in running the operations for electricity supply.
A KPDCL spokesperson referred to the Thursday evening incident at 2×6.3 MVA Receiving Station Shareefabad, Zainakote, in O&M Circle II, Srinagar, alleging that a mob barged into the high voltage Receiving Station and manhandled the staff on duty.
“They forcibly took over the panels and put feeders ON during LCP, putting their lives and that of the maintenance of KPDCL staff at grave risk,” he said, while thanking the police for its intervention.
All 33/11 KV Receiving Stations of KPDCL are designated prohibited zones and entry without proper permission is strictly prohibited, the spokesperson said.
