Authorities are unable to remove a transmission pole within the Plaisance Railway Embankment Road construction area, Minister of Public Utilities and Aviation Deodat Indar says. During a site visit, Indar explains that the pole remains in the active works area because it supports an electricity line that is required for power supply.
Both outlets report that Indar links the delay to the operational need for the infrastructure. He says the pole supports a critical 69kV transmission line, and removing it at this time would create an electricity supply risk. The reports frame the matter as an explanation for why construction continues with the line in place, rather than as an immediate change to the construction layout.
While both accounts focus on the same reasoning, they differ only in emphasis, with coverage highlighting the minister’s remarks as a response to questions about the timing of moving the pole. The common point is that the transmission line is currently considered non-removable due to its function and the consequences of taking it down.
