Residents of sectors 22, 23 and 23 A have accused officials of Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (DHBVN) of negligence saying they took no action despite being briefed on dangling low height cables and open transformers. Though the low height electric panels are common across the city, the risk of mishaps are even more in sectors 22 and 23. “The illegal use of electricity is a major concern and the issue of open transformers is a threat to commuters on the stretch. The transformers, too, are at the very low height and are open,” Aseem Takyar, a resident of Sector 23A, said. The department should install a signboard as a precautionary measure,” Satinder Yadav, a resident of Sector 22, said.
