NEW DELHI: The Delhi Fire Service (DFS) has rejected the proposal of placing power transformer on the pavements in Chandni Chowk as suggested by the Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC). Senior Delhi government officials, privy to the development, said according to DFS, transformers on the pavement would be a danger to pedestrians. “Each electrical unit contains huge quantity of transformer oil about 800 litre and in case it explodes, can cause fire and oil spill-over may severely harm people or walkers. Guidelines clearly say that transformer should be six metres away from the movement of inhabitants,” said an official.
