Sir,
Recently on account of electrocution, two civilians died in village Pohru, Badgam, Kashmir district. Besides, it has been seen that transmission lines fall on each other causing damage to electronic gadgets. This is not new happening in JK PDD. During July/Aug-2014, similar type of accident took place in 220 KV SS Gladni Jammu, wherein, 2 workers (Daily wagers) were badly electrocuted while working on circuit breakers. That was also a case of gross negligence which happened inside the scured premises. No action was taken by the management at that time, other than conducting enquiry, putting it on scrap papers, wasting time and money. Now when 2 JEs have been suspended, lot of criticism is coming to surface in favour of suspended JEs and blaming AEEs and Xens or seniors falling in the system. Does some one really realize why these things happen ?
People/staff shall continue to suffer like this in case things do not improve. Any organisation in this world will never survive, when input is more than output. No gains, no energy auditing etc etc. Do the employees ever realise how their Deptt is working, for which they are paid. If they had realised, this situation would have never happened in just 7-8 months time.
Blame game is no penacea but truth should prevail.
Taking this accident as eye opener, all management and workers should come together to prevent such accidents from taking place.
They should look for effective working of the department and subsequently for improving quality of electric suply to the society. People are not aware of the 3 tier precaution systems which is supposed to function always.
Also take action for removal of unauthorised connections, deploy proper type of fuses (protective gadgets). Revenue will increase. Quality will automatically improve.
Yours etc…
