T'puram: KSEB has issued a public advisory against unauthorised electric fencing installations. Over the past two years, electric shock from such fences claimed 24 lives, including two children, across the state.
KSEB officials claim that these incidents typically occur due to illegal power tapping from KSEB lines or through unauthorised diversion of domestic power connections to fences.
For installing electric fences against wildlife intrusion and crop protection, one must obtain specific approval from the Electrical Inspectorate. Direct or indirect power connection from KSEB lines to electric fences is strictly prohibited.
The only permissible equipment are battery-operated electric fence energisers with impulse generators that comply with standard IS 302-2-76 (1999) Section 76 Part 2.
The Electricity Act of 2003, Section 14, Article 135 (1) (e) classifies unauthorised use of electricity for fencing as illegal, carrying penalties of up to three years' imprisonment, monetary fines, or both.
"Public vigilance is essential to prevent such hazardous violations. Any observed electricity misuse should be reported to the local KSEB section office or the emergency contact 9496010101. This number should be used exclusively for emergencies," KSEB authorities said.

Case against producer for forging signature to get rights of films title
Kochi, Jul 29 (PTI) Police have registered a case against Malayalam film producer P A Shamnas for allegedly obtaining the title of the upcoming film 'Action Hero Biju-2' by forging actor-producer Nivin Pauly's signature. Based on a complaint from Pauly, an FIR was registered against Shamnas under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 465 (forgery) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record), police sources said. In the agreement signed in 2023 by Nivin Pauly, director Abrid Shine and Shamnas for making the film 'Action Hero Biju-2,' all the rights of the film were given to Nivin Pauly's production company, Pauly Junior. Pauly said in his complaint that Shamnas acquired the rights to the name of the film from the Kerala Film Chamber by hiding the agreement. For this, a document with Nivin Pauly's forged signature was presented. When these matters came to light during the police investigation, the Palarivattom police had registered a case against Shamnas. The police had earlier registered a case against Nivin Pauly on a complaint filed by Shamnas, who claimed that he owned the rights to the film and that Pauly Junior Company had given the overseas rights to another company without his knowledge.
