Indore Leads Madhya Pradesh in Unsafe Constructions Near Power Lines
Imagine giant power lines carrying electricity like super-powered extension cords.
It's super dangerous to build anything too close to them because the electricity can jump and hurt people!
Indore, a city in Madhya Pradesh, has the most buildings too close to these power lines.
The government is telling people to stop building there and even taking down some buildings.
They're also teaching people why it's dangerous.
Building too close can cause accidents, especially during bad weather, and might even cause the lights to go out for everyone.
Indore, Madhya Pradesh, leads the state in hazardous construction near high-tension transmission lines.
MP Transco has issued 3,610 notices statewide, with Indore receiving the most (1,031).
Unsafe constructions are prohibited within the 27-meter safety corridor of high-tension lines.
Unauthorized construction endangers residents and can disrupt the state's power supply.
MP Transco is conducting awareness programs and removing unauthorized constructions to mitigate risks.
