In a decisive move to enhance public safety, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has issued strict directives for the immediate removal of hazardous power lines throughout the province. This initiative aims to prevent accidents and protect citizens from potential electrical hazards.
Urgent Action to Safeguard Communities
The Chief Minister emphasized the critical need to address unsafe electricity infrastructure, which has been a longstanding concern in various urban and rural areas. She highlighted that faulty or poorly maintained power lines pose significant risks, including electrocution and fire outbreaks, particularly during adverse weather conditions.
Comprehensive Safety Measures
Under the new orders, relevant authorities are tasked with conducting thorough inspections to identify and eliminate dangerous power lines. This includes:
- Assessing the condition of existing electrical networks
- Prioritizing removal in high-risk zones such as residential neighborhoods and schools
- Implementing modern safety standards to prevent future hazards
The government plans to collaborate with utility companies and local administrations to ensure swift execution of this safety campaign. Additionally, public awareness programs will be launched to educate residents on recognizing and reporting unsafe electrical installations.
Long-Term Infrastructure Goals
Beyond immediate removal efforts, the Punjab government is committed to upgrading the overall electricity infrastructure. This involves investing in durable materials, advanced technology, and regular maintenance protocols to create a safer and more reliable power supply system for all citizens.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif reiterated that public welfare remains the top priority, and this proactive step reflects the administration's dedication to preventing accidents and ensuring a secure environment for everyone in Punjab.
