GRIDCo has issued a stern warning in response to the recent fire at Circle ECOMOG.
They emphasized the importance of not constructing buildings under transmission lines to prevent such incidents in the future.
The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has warned Ghanaians not to erect structures under transmission lines.
According to GRIDCo, such actions and structures pose a danger to lives and property.
The warning comes after a fire incident at Circle ECOMOG, which resulted in the destruction of electricity pylons leading to total darkness in major parts of Accra on Wednesday, June 5.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Titus Glover, also assured that nobody will be allowed to rebuild at Circle ECOMOG, directly below GRIDCo’s transmission lines, and threatened to arrest anyone who attempts to do so.
“This is a national asset, this is a GRIDCo line that is transmitting power all over. So whoever is living here, you live here at your own peril, and we will make sure we drive away everybody from here.
Speaking to the media, the Head of Communications at GRIDCo, Dzifa Bampoe, said such practice must cease.
