CHERAS, SEP 22: Taman Cheras Hartamas residents do not need to worry about their safety in relation to the electrical transmission line project carried out by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) currently.
Infrastructure, Public Amenities, Agricultural Modernisation and Agro-Based Industries Exco Zaidy Abdul Talib said a survey conducted found that TNB met the safety requirements and specification set by the State Government and parties who are monitoring the project safety.
“So far, the representatives from the residents and a nearby kindergarten were relieved by the explanation given by TNB.
“However, the State Government will continue to monitor from time to time to ensure the project always put the residents’ safety as priority,” he said.
He made the statement after a visit at the 275/132 KV electrical transmission line project at Taman Cheras Hartamas yesterday.
The visit was also accompanied by representatives from Kumpulan Ikram Sdn Bhd who are involved in monitoring the land sustainability and Selangor State Economic Planning Unit (UPEN).
At the same time, Zaidy also said that the State Government had also imposed additional conditions to TNB such as installing safety fencing along the line and establishing a ‘control-tower’ to continuously report the project’s progress to the State Government.
“TNB is also asked to ensure measures are taken as per specifications to prevent flash floods and to control surface running water in the event of heavy rain,” he said.
