Mysuru: With Mysuru Dasara festivities approaching, the Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) has stepped up preparations to ensure uninterrupted power supply and smooth illumination.
CESC Managing Director M.S. Archana said, electrical decoration and other system-readiness works are being taken up in a coordinated manner at major Dasara venues and across the city.
She instructed officials and staff to ensure the quality and safety of cables, control panels, distribution boxes and other electrical equipment. Loose connections, exposed wires and other unsafe arrangements should be rectified immediately, she said.
Archana also appealed to the public not to touch decorative poles, artistic installations or electrical fittings. She urged citizens to immediately inform CESC officials if they notice any accident-prone or unsafe electrical arrangement.
With power demand expected to increase during Dasara, key substations, feeders and supply lines are being monitored continuously. Additional personnel, vehicles and equipment have been kept ready to attend to emergencies, she said.
Archana directed officials to ensure that illumination works do not obstruct traffic or pose a risk to pedestrians. Necessary precautions are also being taken to deal with rain and other adverse weather conditions. “The Dasara illumination will add to the beauty of Mysuru, while ensuring that there are no electrical accidents,” she said.
