Adani Electricity — Shifting Of Meter Box To a new Location.

Address:

Surya nagar, powai road, c/o kshirsagar hotel vikhroli west, mumbai 400083

Dear Sir,

I Manojkumar Vishwakarma residing at House no xxx suryanagar powai road vikhroli, Mumbai 400083. Would like to bring to your kind attention of a dangerous Electric meter box installed right at my main entrance and in a very, very badly maintained state by the owners, attaching supporting photos for your reference.

This meter box is openly exposed to heat and rain for the past decade, over the years I have giving the owners repeated reminders to maintain or shift the box in a safer place which is under my iron staircase, but they have ignored all the reminders and give lay excuses, and play a blame game saying the other occupants are not contributing towards the maintenance, this blame game has been going on for over 5 years, resulting in the box getting rotten, 5 yrs. ago the door just broke fell blocking my common pathway, one rainy day with strong wind, and currently condition is without a door, you can refer with the person assigned to take the meter reading in this area, for your reference.

However, all said and done now it gets dangerous, On Monday 20th June 2022 somewhere around the second half of the day there was a loud spark in the meter box followed by smoke. Few minutes later there were three more louder sounds followed by sparks and smoke. That could have set the hole meter box on fire making it completely imposable for me and my family to escape to safety as the meter box on fire would be blocking my only escape route.

The current position of the meter box is in such a place that in case of a real time fire in the meter box, it will be difficult of the fire team to reach it easily and contain the fire before it got big and set my house on fire along with some more nearby houses as the houses in the chawl are very close to each other and some also attached to each other.

I would like to recommend and suggest to re instal the mitre box in a safer place under the owners own wall which will keep it safe from rain, heat and also makes it is very easy for a fire team to reach in case of a fire as the new suggested spot is also safely away from my house.

This electric meter box is a ticking bomb waiting to explode, and if so, who is responsible for any unforeseen incident, The owners or Adani Electric LTD?????
Hence It is my humble request to you, kindly look into the matter and comply at the earliest.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards
Manojkumar Vishwakarma
