Special team to prevent tripping
Learning lessons from previous years, the DMRC on Sunday deployed special squads to patrol all elevated corridors to prevent over head equipment (OHE) from tripping due to kite-flying, a tradition followed by people in the capital on Independence Day.
Due to the efforts, there were only a couple of incidents of OHE tripping, sources said. The squads carried a special insulated rod by which they were able to remove any kind of material falling on over head equipment. The squads patrolled three corridors — Rithala-Dilshad Garden (Line 1), Dwarka Sec 9-Noida City Centre/Anand Vihar (Line 3) and Inderlok-Mundka (Line 4) on August 14, 15 and 16, the sources said. —PTI

Consumer panel pulls up oil firm
SUCHITRA KALYAN MOHANTY
NEW DELHI
The National Consumer Commission, in a recent order, has rapped Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited for not taking responsibility for supply of a defective cylinder that led to an explosion killing three persons and asked it to pay Rs 6.5 lakhs to the kin of the victims. It upheld the Delhi State Consumer Commission’s decision asking the public sector oil company to pay the compensation. “In view of allegation of the complainants that the cylinder was defective, it was incumbent upon the BPCL to have a technical examination of the cylinder conducted in order to rule out any such defect,” a bench comprising Justice R. C. Jain and A. Dasgupta said.
