Chandigarh, July 1, 2026: In observance of the National Electric Safety Week and with the onset of monsoon season, the Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited has urged the consumers to exercise extra caution while using electrical equipment to prevent accidents and ensure safety.
CPDL officials advised residents to maintain a safe distance from electric poles, transformers, and any exposed or damaged electrical wires, particularly during and after rainfall.
Consumers have also been cautioned against touching electrical appliances or equipment with wet hands. In the event of water leakage inside homes, the main power supply should be switched off immediately to avoid any risk of electric shock.
