Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) has asked people not to fly kites near electrical installations and high tension lines in the national interest, saying the practice is causing trippings and outages across the national capital.
DTL is working round the clock to ensure uninterrupted power supply in the city but during the last two days a few tripping in the transmission lines witnessed after it came in contact with a metal coated manjha in east Delhi areas such as Geeta Colony and Patparganj. Since it takes a long time in physically locating the entangled kite and removing it, therefore it may take time in restoration of power supply, it said in a statement.
