I wish to draw the attention of the Electricity Department, Siolim Section, to a serious safety concern. A transformer installed at Tarchi Bhat Old Theatre junction has been erected on a low concrete pedestal. Unlike the usual transformers fixed on two-pole structures at a safe height, this one is easily accessible.
The LT and HT connections are exposed, which can be dangerous, especially to the public. In addition, unauthorised metallic advertisement boards have been placed close to the transformer. These could increase the risk of electric shock and may lead to serious accidents. I request the Electricity Department to inspect the site immediately and take necessary steps to ensure public safety.
