– says GPL has yet to take action despite daily complaints
Kaieteur News – It has recently been bought to the attention of this publication by concerned residents that an electricity pole located on Saffon Street between Narine’s Building and the tyre shop just before Trench Road has drifted from its original position and has consequently been leaning to one side at an almost 45 degree angle.
Upon inspection of the pole in question, Kaieteur News confirmed the account of the concerned citizen that the pole represents a serious potential fire hazard should it fall completely, as it is directly linked to a transformer and a series of connections for at least a dozen households and businesses, most of which are located in Narine’s Building. The connecting line appeared to be ‘pulled’ in the direction of the pole’s lean, signaling that a complete fall could have catastrophic results for the area as buildings within the vicinity are very close together. According to information furnished to this publication, the pole has been in its current state for over a month and despite almost daily repeated calls to GPL over the last month, the utility company has yet to address the issue.
One concerned resident stated that “every day we calling them and they telling we they coming tomorrow, they coming tomorrow and they can’t come yet and fix it, this thing leaning and pulling on the transformer wire, if it fall everything here linked to it, so gon be one big fire.” The resident went on to note that after repeated calls, a GPL employee came earlier in the week to photograph the pole, but did not do anything further. Additionally, the citizen claimed that “up to today [June 25] they say that they coming to replace the pole but still nothing.”
