TANGEDCO’s Mylapore Circle engineers have engaged contracted people to refix the power junction pillar boxes on a pedestal if they are found located only at pavement level – this is to safeguard them from flooding rainwater this monsoon.
We saw these teams at work near Kanni Koil area near Dr Ranga Lane and
on Dr Ranga Road and a side of D’Silva Road this weekend.
Power supply was put off to carry out this work.
One engineer of TANGEDCO said that the refitting of boxes will also prevent electrocution of cattle left to roam on the streets.
Note: If you find a junction box in a bad state or at very low level, inform your local TANGEDCO unit office.
