The company has also issued a detailed list of do's and don'ts for all Ganesh pandals, emphasising safety precautions to prevent any hazards during the festivities.

Some of these precautions include ensuring proper wiring readiness at the pandals, restricting access to authorised personnel in meter cabins, using wires and switches with standard capacity and secure insulation, maintaining optimal load, properly earthing the generator body if using backup, keeping fire extinguishers with operating instructions near the meter board, and avoiding the storage of hazardous materials in and around the meter cabin.
