Old Gagribal residents seek safety measures

Srinagar, Nov 5: Residents of Old Gagribal area here have demanded safety measures for HT wires passing to the Receiving Station in the area.

A delegation of residents said HT wire near the Receiving Station passes close to trees and face frequent short-circuits during rains and winds.

“We appeal to PDD authorities to conduct a safety audit of these HT wires. PDD can install safety plastic nets beneath the HT wires or places these wires underground to prevent any mishap. We make a fervent appeal to MLA Khanyar Ali Muhammad Sagar to take up the issue with concerned authorities,” they added.
