Adani Electricity is reaching out to kite lovers with a critical safety plea as Uttarayan approaches. Fly your patangs far from power lines, they implore, to avert potential disasters that have plagued past seasons.
The appeal comes amid concerns over hazardous kite strings that slice through overhead wires like a hot knife through butter. These incidents not only trip circuits across neighborhoods but also claim innocent lives through instant electrocution. Adani’s safety audits show hundreds of line faults annually, mostly traceable to festive kite flying.
Experts from the company break it down: metallic or glass-powdered manja turns deadly when it contacts charged lines, channeling current directly to handlers. Preventive measures urged include scouting locations beforehand, using safe threads, and teaching kids the rules.
Complementing the message, Adani has installed warning signs at vulnerable spots and launched a mobile app for real-time hazard reporting. Community leaders are roped in for door-to-door campaigns, amplifying the reach.
Looking ahead, the power major hopes for zero accidents this year. Their message resonates: tradition thrives when tempered with caution. Let’s keep the skies friendly for kites and safe for everyone below.
