The damaged PDS machines at Anwomaso
POWER SUPPLY to some parts of
Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital, was disrupted on Monday, following a huge
blast at the Power Distribution Services (PDS) substation at Anwomaso.
The PDS officials and
technicians quickly moved to the substation to find out what caused the huge
blast and after a thorough search, the PDS technicians said a cat caused the
blast.
The cat had been burnt at the
scene and that confirmed the PDS’ suspicion that the domestic animal caused the
blackout.
The PDS Public Relations
Director for Ashanti Region, Erasmus Kyere Baidoo affirmed the report when he
posted on social media.
He wrote on WhatsApp that
blackout also known as ‘Dumsor’ had occurred in some areas because of a cat.
“A cat has caused the blast of
some CTs (equipment) at Anwomaso substation,” the PDS official wrote, adding “supply
to some areas has been affected but work to restored supply has commenced.”
Sometime ago, Mr. Baidoo
announced that an intruding mouse had caused Dumsor in Kumasi and said not all
blackouts in Kumasi and other parts of the Ashanti Region are deliberate.
According to him, there have
been several instances when intruding animals such as mouse, caused blackouts.
