The power utility also advised people to exercise caution when using alternative sources like candles, lanterns and gas stoves by switching them off when they are not in use and urging customers to, “always keep an eye on the condition of the electrical wiring and plugs on all your electrical appliances and get a professional electrician to do your servicing and repair works to avoid electrical accidents.
