The panel directs that an applicant seeking electricity connection for their children’s education should be provided one while ensuring safety, even if wiring has been done in only one room in the house
The Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has directed that an applicant seeking electricity connection for their children’s education should be provided one while ensuring safety, even if wiring has been done in only one room in the house. The commission, comprising members K. Nazeer and B. Babitha, also recently directed that in case the owners of the nearby land failed to give the ‘consent for property crossing’, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) staff should submit an application without delay under Section 16 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, to the District Magistrate or the Additional District Magistrate. A decision must be taken by the magistrate on the application for power within seven days, the panel said.More Related News
