220 KV transmission cable found semi-burnt under suspicious circumstances in city

The Hindu  

The 220 KV transmission cables of the Rayadurg-Miyapur line were found burnt partially in the 220 KV EHT sub-station at Miyapur on Sunday morning, causing interruption in power supply to Kaithalapur and Miyapur 132/33 KV sub-stations. Alert staff at the Miyapur sub-station responded swiftly by extinguishing the fire and restored supply to the two sub-stations within a short time making use of an alternative circuit/line. Authorities of the Southern Discom have termed it a “suspicious incident” and stated that there were no such incidents even when the peak load of power on the transmission system was at its highest-ever at 4,350 megawatt recently. Mr. Faruqui said steps have been taken to prevent power supply disruption in areas served by the sub-stations linked to the transmission line.
