Power Disruption in Petropavlovsk: Over 28,000 Residents Lose Electricity Owing to Groundwork Violations
New and Fresh Version
Looks like nearly three-decades-worth of residents in North Kazakhstan got hit by a major, unexpected power outage. Over 28,000 folk, including our little ones in schools and kindergartens, and healthcare heroes in hospitals, were left in the dark. The culprit? Some unauthorized earthworks gone haywire!
It seems some folks decided to play land-mover without giving a hoot about the protected power line zone, using heavy machinery for their illegal digs. This reckless act has been a recurring issue in May, causing not one, not two, but four such power outages. Ain't that a doozy?
Guess who took the hit for this? Yup, you guessed it—the power company has been left to deal with the fallout. They're miffed as hell, especially since the equipment was in tip-top shape. It's all because one entitiy failed to play by the rules, creating a mess of mammoth proportions—one that could've endangered human lives.
These infractions will be duly documented and sent to the Committee for Atomic Energy and Control, the Prosecutor's Office, and other regulatory bodies. Word on the street is this ain't something the law is gonna let slide. Those responsible for this blunder will pay—literally and figuratively.
Just a quick heads-up, folks: working in the protected zone of power lines without prior coordination is a big no-no. Ignoring the rules can lead to catastrophic situations like this one. Time to tap into our good sense and follow directions. Safety first, ya hear?
