Electric fence in Mohali to keep stray animals at bay caused a farm fire

It has been discovered that an issue with the electric fence on the property caused the fire, which occurred one day after crops on fourteen acres were burned in Sector 125.

“It was observed that illegal electric fence was installed in the area to prevent cattle from entering the fields,” a PSPCL officer said. It seems that the fence was the cause of the fire. It is believed that the fire started there after a broken fence insulator was discovered at the scene.

Control room of PSPCL

A control center has been established by the PSPCL to put out crop fire situations. Helpline calls with the location on the WhatsApp number 9646106836 were introduced to report loose and potentially dangerously hanging cables. According to PSPCL personnel, events of this kind may also be reported by calling the control room numbers, which are 9646106835 and 1912.
