E-Rickshaw Charging Sparks Fire Risk at New Market Parking Lot

The parking lot at New Market, a bustling commercial hub, has become a charging point for numerous e-rickshaws. While this provides convenience for drivers, it has also raised concerns among authorities and residents about the potential for fire hazards. The concentration of charging batteries in a confined space, coupled with the possibility of faulty wiring or improper charging practices, presents a significant risk. Local authorities are urging e-rickshaw operators to adhere to safety guidelines and ensure proper electrical installations to mitigate the fire risk.
