Residents Demand Immediate Action on Exposed Transformer Fuses
Residents of Dhani Kishan Dutt in the 12 Quarters locality of Hisar have raised serious safety concerns over an exposed high-voltage transformer, alleging negligence by the power utility. The transformer, located near the Balmiki Hanuman Temple, has high-voltage fuses installed in the open at a height of just three to four feet above the ground, posing a severe risk of accidents.
Repeated Complaints Ignored by DHBVN
According to residents, the transformer is maintained by the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN). They claim that the exposed fuses are within easy reach of children and stray animals, particularly cows, increasing the risk of electrocution. Residents Sanjay, Mukesh, Prakash Chandra, Rajkiran, and Ashok Gurjar stated that they have repeatedly brought the matter to the attention of DHBVN officials, but no corrective measures have been taken so far.
Call for Protective Measures
The residents have demanded that the exposed fuses be enclosed in a wooden protective box or fitted with an appropriate safety cover to prevent any untoward incident. They urged the power utility to take immediate action and implement necessary safety measures to avert any tragedy. The situation highlights ongoing community concerns about electrical safety and infrastructure maintenance in the area.
