Protective fencing has put in place around electric transformer installed at Wangoo Sandangkhong on Tuesday by volunteers of Sadangkhong Social Welfare Youth Club and WKYC, Kashartabi to prevent recurrence of deaths of animals that came in contact with the transformer when it remained unfenced.
According to Wangoo Sandangkhong ward member L Deben, the MSPDCL installed an electric transformer at Wangoo Sandangkhong in 2016 and provided electricity to people of the area through installation of prepaid member system.
However, the same transformer was left unfenced for many years, thereby endangering the cattle stock.
He also suggested that the department do the needful to ensure that the transformer could withstand thunderstorm or strong winds.
He also informed that the club members and volunteers would extend help whenever electric poles in the area get damage and prevent unwanted incidents from happening.
