"No one else is allowed to carry out any works on SESB properties without a permit," he said in a statement on Friday .Idris said only SESB-appointed contractors or those with permission from SESB can do so."This includes fishing or swimming at ponds or rivers close to electric poles, flying kites or remote aeroplanes close to any electric lines, illegal power connections or power theft and others," he said.
Idris said SESB was actively creating awareness on this issue and disseminating information on safety when dealing with electrical items and utilities on various platforms including social media, newspapers and radio broadcasts. He reminded the public that for their own safety, they should always contact SESB if any work is needed on its utilities.
