About Busoga Health Forum

@kjjdarius @uetcl What if it was a mental case and not vandalism as being suggested? That's why an investigation is needed, I guess.

@uetcl The police to measure the volts that passed through the body or what investigation?

PUBLIC NOTICE ⚠️ UETCL informs the public that a suspected vandal was electrocuted while attempting to climb a transmission tower on the Owen Falls–Lugazi Transmission Line in Lugazi. The individual is currently suspended on the tower as arrangements are being made for a technical team to safely retrieve the body. The matter has been handed over to the @PoliceUg for further investigation. UETCL strongly warns the public against vandalising or attempting to access electricity transmission infrastructure. High-voltage installations carry dangerous currents and can result in serious injury or death. We urge the general public to be vigilant and report suspected vandals to the nearest police station. Vandalism not only interrupts the power supply but is also a danger to human life. MANAGEMENT. @NankabirwaRS @uetcl_ceo
