A unique initiative has been taken by MP Transco  by removing the construction near the extra high tension line which poses a threat to human life. The main thing in this was that when MP Transco officials alerted the landlord about the possible accident that could occur due to this or this line coming into the induction zoneand asked to remove that dangerous construction, he Gave full cooperation to MPTransco officials.

It should be noted that due to these constructions there is a possibility of fatal electrical accidents, but this time the local officials of M.P. Transco did a remarkable job in getting the construction removed by talking and advising.

The landlord fully cooperated in demolishing approximately three feet extended area of the third and fourth floor of the house under construction, due to which the said construction could be protected from the possibility of loss of life and property.

Chief Engineer of MP Transco, SK Gaikwad told that 132 K.V. Ujjain-Ratadia power line,between Location no. of 11-12, a four-storey house was being constructed parallel to the EHT Power line by a resident of Baikunth Dham Colony, Ujjain. According to the prescribed norms, construction should be done at a distance of at least 2.9 meters from the extra high tension lines, but this construction was being done at a distance of only 2.3 meters, which would have been extremely dangerous. Last day, during a strong storm & due to the construction of the said low clearance at the same site the top conductor of the , 132 KV extra high tension line ,swung in the strong wind and came in contact with the house, causing the line to trip. Coincidentally, no one was present at the scene of the incident due to which a major loss of life was averted.

In this proceeding announcement by MP Transco Ujjain's Executive Engineer Dhansingh Bhalavi and Assistant Engineer Mr. Sachindra Sharma, besides Hemraj Patidar, Dinesh Bhusare, Govardhan Lal Dangi, Ajit Kumar etc. of the maintenance team regarding maintaining a safe distance from the extra high tension line in many parts of the colony and the city.
