Kishtwar,TDD, A training session cum workshop was organized to educate electrical field staff, technicians, and power engineers on the use of safety equipment and devices as safeguards against electric shocks and accidents while working on the power distribution system.
The one-day workshop was attended by Chief Engineer P&P Rajan Gupta, Chief Engineer JKPCL Neeraj Sharma, Superintending Engineer and Technical Officer to MD JPDCL Sardar Surjeet Singh, Executive Engineers Anil Gautam and Gopal Singh, along with AEEs, AEs, JEs, and field staff.
The primary focus of the training was on linemen, who work under high-risk conditions to illuminate our homes. The objective of this exercise was to promote a safer working environment for field staff. Participants were reminded of the importance of valuing their own lives while on duty by adopting safety precautions and using safety tools. The session emphasized the dual responsibility of protecting their lives at work and fulfilling their responsibilities towards their families.
Since taking charge of JPDCL three months ago, MD JPDCL Yasin Choudhary (IAS) has prioritized the safety of “men at work.” As part of this vision, similar workshops and training sessions are being conducted across districts to raise awareness among line staff and reinforce the department’s commitment to their safety.
Approximately 210 officials attended today’s training session held at the Conference Hall, Kishtwar. The Electric Division, Kishtwar, which organized the event, extended its gratitude to the district administration for facilitating the logistics required for the meeting.TDD
