Street lights



































Our city still has its 'royal' traces. The lamp posts in the Museum to Kawdiar route would certify this. The street light poles are of the beautiful royal designs. They are made of cast iron (?) and made by the British (?). They are still in its royal form. That's all fine.
But the way they are maintained is very pathetic. Look at the lamp post (my focus is always at the bottom !). The electric lines giving connections to the lamps are all exposed (but for a thin piece of insulation tape). And the cover (shield) is missing.
This being at a bus stop, people stand very close to these wires. This is a SAFETY HAZARD.
Is any KSEB wizard listening ?

Safety and Power losses : KSEB




















The snap here shows the "Meter and main switch board" in a building in our city.
The meter is the latest make 'electronic' meter; a high speed one, as the owner of the building says. . Look at the other elements.
The fuses, switch, the board itself.. must be senior citizens among them. And the wiring !
Our KSEB is not aware of power losses or safety ? I think 'YES'.
