Taking into account the fact that the 33KVA cable is passing close to the 700mm Feeder Main, it may cause similar damages in future too.

The leakage was repaired on priority. Total loss worth Rs 5 Lakh was caused due to leakage .
Also it was mentioned in the complaint that in future such cable burst incidence may again damage pipe line as the 33 KVA cable is passing very close to 700 mm dia feeder line which is rarest of rare case.
