Nashik: The Maharashtra State electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) has covered more than 5,000 distribution boxes across Nashik zone comprising Nashik and Ahmednagar districts as part of a special safety drive conducted last week.
Right from linemen to the chief engineer of Nashik zone , every personnel was asked to check for impending danger in their jurisdiction and get it rectified.
“The aim is to get infrastructure for zero accidents,” Sanjay Khandare, in-charge chief engineer of MSEDCL, Nashik Zone, said.
The linemen were given the task of looking out for the loose ends of wires dangling in the open and fixing them. In addition, they were asked to cover all the distribution boxes whose lids were stolen or misplaced. The MSEDCL personnel replaced 5,576 lids over the distribution boxes in and across cities.
“We put up iron sheets as lids on distribution boxes to prevent any kind of mishaps which may include people accidentally touching the circuits inside the boxes or for that matter even the animals coming in contact with the live system,” a senior officer said.
