BERHAMPUR, OCT 4
As the festive season approaches, TP Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPSODL) has released guidelines to ensure safe power supply during celebrations. The focus is on the safety of temporary structures like pandals, facilitating smooth festivities.
TPSODL offers temporary power connections through local offices and its web portal. The company emphasizes hiring qualified electricians for installations and decorations.
Key recommendations include repairing loose outlets, replacing damaged wires, avoiding overloaded sockets, and keeping electrical decorations away from overhead lines. All connections should have proper earthing, and safe distances from electric poles and transformers must be maintained during events like immersion ceremonies and fireworks.
TPSODL urges the public to report any electrical hazards to their Fuse Call Centre or via toll-free numbers: 1912 or 1800-3456-797.
