Rain Safety: Avoid WiresDelhi Tragedy Sparks Alert
Here are some essential tips to prevent electrocution:
Avoid Lamp Posts During Heavy Rains: Refrain from walking close to lamp posts when it is raining heavily or when streets are waterlogged. Water can conduct electricity from faulty or exposed wires. Do Not Touch Poles: Avoid touching any poles, especially during the rainy season, as they may be electrified due to faulty wiring.
Steer Clear of Feeder Boxes and Hanging Wires: Never touch feeder boxes or any hanging wires. Be vigilant while walking, as wires may appear unexpectedly on your path. Stay Off Your Phone While Walking: Do not look at your phone while walking. It is essential to stay aware of your surroundings to avoid stepping on or coming into contact with live wires.
Prevent Power Theft in your area: Stealing electricity often results in unsafe wiring practices, which can lead to electrocution.
