Hyderabad: With rainwater flowing into cellars leading to power failures and even electrocution in residential apartments and commercial complexes, the Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL) has asked the apartment associations to shift their meter panel boards from the cellars to the first floor to avoid power breakdowns.
\nIn the recent past, at least four persons have died while trying to switch on power or start motors to flush out water from the cellars.
\nTSSPDCL chairman and managing director G Raghuma Reddy said if the associations come forward for shifting of the meters, the discom would shift them without collecting any charges.
\n\u201cThe TSSPDCL is making an appeal to new apartment builders to allot some space (minimum 10×10) in the first floor for fixing the electricity panel boards and power-related equipment to avoid breakdowns and electrical accidents during rain. TSSPDCL is also suggesting to GHMC to take note of this proposal,\u201d Raghuma Reddy told TOI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
