Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has issued instructions to all chief engineers and field officers of distribution zones to ensure   and take appropriate action to prevent incidents of fire during wheat   crop harvesting season  in Punjab.

A spokesman of PSPCL said that in order to avoid  fire incidents involving wheat crops due to electrical sparks. Punjab State Power Corporation Limited has made special efforts in this direction.

The lose wires of  HT / LT lines passing through the fields should be tightened, where the distance between electric poles are more, it should be set right by placing another intermediate  pole. Instructions have been issued to ensure setting of proper gap of loose lines between   two lines at crossings. Apart from this, loose jumpers of all transformers/poles should be repaired. Besides this, farmers are also appealed that in view of enhanced possibility of fire due to high temperature during 15 days of crop harvesting season, power supply to the AP feeders will be provided during  night as per requirement instead of day timings.
