Baji: A power transformer located in Chakapada under Banki NAC has been in a hazardous condition for a long time. Positioned beside the main road connecting Banki and Cuttack, the transformer terrifies pedestrians who pass by.
Reportedly, due to the erosion of a concrete slab from the roadside—about 5 to 6 feet in width—a pit roughly 6 feet deep has formed around the transformer. During the rainy season, water from the nearby village drains through this spot, worsening the condition due to poor construction quality.
To temporarily avert danger, some sandbags were placed by the department along the roadside. However, it is alleged that the electricity department remains inactive regarding the issue. There is a strong demand for the department to address the situation by constructing a cement platform around the transformer and installing a protective fence for safety.
