Adani Electricity observes National Electrical Safety Week
Adani Electricity on Monday said it is observing National Electrical Safety Week across its divisions and supply area from June 26 to July 2. During this week, various electrical safety-related educational workshops and programmes are being organised for employees and customers, the company said in a statement. Additionally, Adani Electricity, in association with Adani Foundation, is also organising electrical safety workshops in BMC schools. In April, in a bid to promote fire prevention, Adani Electricity observed 'Fire Service Week', throughout its power distribution area. During the week, various fire safety workshops were organised for Adani Electricity's power warriors. The theme for this year was "Unite to Ignite, a Fire Safe India," emphasising the significance of community involvement, education, preparedness and innovations in fire safety. In March, Adani Electricity observed the 'National Safety Week 2025', maintaining high safety standards as India progresses towards development. The objective was to raise awareness and encourage the adoption of safety measures across its power distribution area and various work sites, according to Adani Electricity, which is the leading power distribution company serving over three million customers in Mumbai. Meanwhile, Adani Electricity has proactively enhanced its disaster management readiness in preparation for the monsoon season, aiming to safeguard its 3.15 million customers from potential disruptions. To address any emergencies that may arise during the monsoon, Adani Electricity has activated its Central Disaster Control Centre (CDCC). This pivotal hub will orchestrate response efforts and operate round-the-clock, ensuring swift action and communication throughout the monsoon period. "Seven Quick Response Teams (QRTs) have been strategically deployed across the distribution network. These teams are equipped with comprehensive response, recovery, and restoration plans specifically tailored for the challenges posed by the monsoon season," the company said in a statement. To monitor rising water levels, 98 advanced water level sensors are now integrated with the Advanced Distribution Management System at critical locations. This setup enhances the ability to pre-empt and respond to flood-related electrical issues.

Dream of developed Uttarakhand becoming a reality: CM Dhami extends wishes on Civil Services Day
Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], April 21 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday morning extended warm wishes to civil service officers discharging their duty in the state, providing public services, on the occasion of Civil Services Day. The Chief Minister stated that the dream of a 'developed' India and a 'developed' Uttarakhand are becoming a reality with the active participation and committed efforts of the civil service officers. Meanwhile, the Uttarakhand Animal Husbandry Department has entered into a direct contract with the local livestock farmers through the ITBP. After this, in the first five months, 253 farmers from four border districts have generated a business of Rs 2.6 crore with the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP). Earlier, ITBP battalions located in the border districts of Uttarakhand were dependent on big cities for the supply of mutton, chicken, and fish till October 2024. CM Dhami said that this scheme has yielded very positive results, with an increase in the income of farmers on the border, which will also reduce migration to the villages. He said that, along with this, he will work to strengthen the country's defence line in collaboration with the ITBP. Fresh food items will also be supplied to the ITBP. The Animal Husbandry Department duly signed a contract with the ITBP regarding this scheme on October 30. Under this, 253 farmers associated with 10 cooperative societies and FPOs of Pithoragarh, Chamoli, Uttarkashi and Champawat districts are supplying live mutton, chicken, and fish to the nearest battalion of ITBP. In the first five months of the scheme, these farmers supplied a total of 79,530 kg (42,748 kg of live sheep and goats, 29,407 kg of chicken, and 7,374 kg of trout fish) to the ITBP. On Saturday, CM Dhami flagged off 20 new fire tenders and fire vehicles included in the Uttarakhand Fire Service for public awareness. He participated in the program organised for Fire Service Week at Police Line, Dehradun. During this, the Chief Minister honoured seven firefighters who won medals during the Third All India Fire Service Games and two firefighters who won the DGFS Disc Medal of the Home Ministry, Government of India.
