Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71114, member: 636"] Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited has initiated an investigation after vandals caused multiple transmission towers to collapse on lines connecting Owen Falls, Mukono North and Namanve South, resulting in one fatality and widespread power interruptions. Authorities confirmed the infrastructure failure disrupted electricity supply to Mukono North substation, prompting emergency response teams to assess damage and begin restoration efforts. Police have opened inquiries into both the fatal incident and the sabotage of the 132kV transmission system. Annual vandalism targeting power infrastructure costs the utility over seven billion shillings and causes more than 250 documented incidents affecting medical facilities, commercial operations and residential areas nationwide. Officials urged citizens to report suspicious activities near electrical installations while technical crews work to restore service. [/QUOTE]
