India: Underground Power Cables Planned in Bhopal, Indore

India: Underground Power Cables Planned in Bhopal, Indore

Imagine the power lines in Bhopal and Indore are getting knocked down by strong winds, causing blackouts.

To fix this, the government is thinking about burying the power cables underground, like they do in some other cities.

The problem is that the old power lines and towers were built a long time ago, and the weather is getting worse.

Strong winds are causing the lines to trip frequently.

Burying the cables would cost more money because underground cables are more expensive.

Officials are also considering redesigning the towers to better handle the weather.
