The move aims to inspect the protection corridors of the stations, make a list of the violated cases, thus drastically preventing residents from misusing power transformer stations for doing their business and other purposes.
EVN will cooperate with local-level authorities and relevant bodies to monitor and handle the violated cases.
Previously on November 17, the Bui Thi Cuc 4 power transformer in Ha Dong district exploded, killing one person and injuring four others.
According to preliminary investigation, the explosion was caused by a leak of the insulating oil in the transformer.
