Hey there, Pune! As the Kite Festival kicks off for Makar Sankranti, Mahavitaran, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited, has some important safety tips for you. They’re urging everyone to be cautious around power lines and electrical equipment in public spaces, especially when flying kites.
It’s common for kites and manjas to get tangled in power lines, transformers, and feeder pillars during the festival. Mahavitaran is warning against trying to retrieve them yourself, as it can be extremely dangerous and lead to accidents like electrocution.
The company is stressing the importance of staying away from power lines and using caution when flying kites. Metallic-coated kites can cause short circuits and disrupt electricity supply, so it’s best to fly them in open spaces away from electrical infrastructure.
Parents, make sure to keep an eye on your children and teach them safe kite-flying practices. And remember, if you ever need help or have an emergency, you can call MSEDCL’s toll-free helplines at 1912, 18002123435, or 18002333435 for immediate assistance.
Stay safe and enjoy the festival, Pune!
