A business affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture has been allegedly caught using an illegal power supply at Youyi Building.

The company was found operating without a meter, illegally drawing electricity.

The unapproved connection involved cables hidden inside piles, posing serious risks to both the building and nearby areas.

EDSA, the Electric Distribution Service Authority, was the agency responsible for uncovering the illegal power supply. They discovered that the business had been using the unmetered electricity for months, or even up to a year, without ever purchasing top-ups for it.

This illegal power setup not only violates regulations but also creates serious safety risks, including the potential for fires and electrical accidents that could endanger the building and its surroundings.
