Dear All
· Kite flying should be avoided since the wires of kites are metallic coated which, when in contact with live electricity wires, cause them to trip and hence disrupt power supply.
· The metallic coated manjha is a good conductor of electricity and can prove life threatening as it can electrocute people.
· According to estimates, tripping of just one 33/66 KV overhead line can disrupt power supply to over 10,000 residents of an area. Similarly, tripping of a single 11 KV line can affect over 2,500 residents.
· During Independence Day celebrations in 2009, over 100 such tripping were reported. The extent of delays/ damage can well be ascertained in Delhi!
· Kite flying in restricted areas such as Metro installations and other stipulated areas can also invite hefty penalties.
