Following an electrical accident in Coimbatore recently that claimed the lives of two children, the Tangedco has urged electricity consumers to instal circuit breakers at their houses. It has also asked the consumers to check the electricity circuits at houses using recognised electricians and replace the damaged wires. There should be adequate spacing of electrical products in parks, play areas, and walking paths in gated communities and apartments. If there are damages in the wires, those should be rectified properly. Consumers should be cautious and should not step on snapped wires or touch them. They should not go near open electrical junction boxes too, the Tangedco warned.
