To prevent accidents due to electrocution, the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) is exploring new measures for safety of employees.
As a first step, the KPDCL has decided to sign an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar to devise “safe working procedures”.
A senior official in the Power department told Greater Kashmir that by collaborating with the NIT, they want to explore further avenues for the safety of employees.
“The NIT will provide us technological expertise to help save lives being lost in accidents,” he said.
The officials said that they are taking many other new steps also to plug in the loopholes.
