Moosa Bowli school raises alarm over transformer installed near entrance

Students of the Government Primary School, Bazaar-e-Ghansi, at Moosa Bowli face the risk of electrocution, reportedly due to the installation of an electrical transformer in front of the school gate.

According to Arshiya Sultana, the principal of the school, a cloth store owner had undertaken renovation of the building in front of the school and erected a pillar to install an electrical transformer atop it. “A few hundred children study in the school, and erecting an



electrical transformer in front of the school gate poses a risk of electrocution to students,” the school principal told Media.

The management of the school and the education department officials concerned had spoken to the GHMC and the Charminar police. “The police visited the spot after we complained to them on Tuesday. So far, no action has been initiated by the authorities. The lives of the children are being put at risk by this negligent act,” said the school principal.
