Bhubaneswar, April 29, 2024 (TBB Bureau): Amidst the approaching peak summer season, Tata Power Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL) underscores the importance of responsible electricity usage. With heightened power demand looming, TPCODL acknowledges the potential risks of disruptions like fuse blowouts, cable failures, and transformer overloads, which inconvenience consumers across the board.
These challenges are exacerbated by unauthorized hooking onto power lines, creating additional strain on the electrical network and posing safety hazards. It’s crucial to understand that unauthorized hooking is not only illegal under Section 135 of the Indian Electricity Act, 1956, but also poses significant risks to public safety and causes losses to the community.
Given these circumstances, it is crucial for each consumer to exercise prudence and responsibility in their electricity consumption habits. By prioritizing essential usage, minimizing wastage, and embracing energy-efficient practices, we can collectively alleviate pressure on the grid.
TPCODL urges consumers to refrain from unauthorized electricity-related activities and instead collaborate with them to uphold electricity regulations and ensure community safety.
