“If they want to buy land, it should be 15 meters of the center line, right and left, for their own safety and benefit.” He noted that building structures under high tension and transmission lines create problem with the router way and posed great risk to the public.

“The state government needs to intervene and stop allocation of land on any transmission line or allow anyone construct house under a high tension.’’ He added that other challenges facing power supply to the state was the vandalism of power and router ways by some unscrupulous persons.
