BSES asks people to stay away from electrical installations

The discom also said it is important for everyone to keep a 'tester' at home during the monsoon season and assured them that it was also taking steps to prevent untoward incidents.

Despite BSES putting-up insulated conductors (instead of the bare conductors), anti-social elements indulging in power theft puncture the over-head electricity cables and illegally hook on to our systems - jeopardizing the lives of people around them.

"BSES appeals to all citizens of Delhi; to please report /resist and convince people not to illegally draw electricity by hooking on to mainlines or electrical road side equipment," it said in a statment.

"BSES urges customers to stay away from all electrical installations like electricity poles, sub-stations, transformers, streetlights etc and educate children not to play near them, even if they are barricaded, BRPL CEO Gopal Saxena said.
