Srisailam Dam Left Bank Power Station Electric Panel Fire and Explosion on August 20 at 10:30 PM IST: 9 Dead.

Location: 16°05′13″N 78°53′50″E:

News: Nine employees of Telangana State Power Generation Corporation (TSGenco) are trapped inside the under-tunnel 900 (6 X 150) MW Srisailam Left Bank Power Station (SLBP) when fire broke out in the electric panel at around 10.30 pm on Thursday night (Aug 20 2020).

As per preliminary reports, there was a sudden spike in power generation, up to 180 MW and resulted in short circuit, causing fire. According to one report, the fire started in auxiliary voltage transformer, of the fourth unit of the power station. A TS GENCO employee, who was at the hydroelectric power plant when the fire started said that, “it  seemed to have started in one of the panels, somewhere near the units 4, 5 and 6. At least ten people were working around that time. We immediately tried to control the fire using carbon dioxide fire extinguishing cylinders. Thick smoke had engulfed the entire area. The visibility was so poor because of smoke that we could not see the person standing next to us. We had no idea as to what was happening and later a few of us somehow managed to escape.”(Report:

Applying the precautionary principle and public interest science fundamentals I have shown that such disasters are caused by World Dam Dynamics. Modern "civilization" is deservedly committing suicide and is in the final stage of self destruction. After two almost simultaneous strong earthquakes caused by dams on 19 August 2020 caused millions of degrees K shock inputs to the building, electrical equipment caught fire on 20 August 2020 at 2230 hrs  and explosion reportedly  took place. The dams caused shock input heat on the average every half an hour at an average shock input temperature of more than 100000 degrees Kelvin. See Ramaswami Ashok Kumar.2017.PERFECT DESIGNS: Ignore Root Cause, get root shock, Dams the cause of Irma's Fury. Blogspot(1). Mahatma Gandhi warned about this in 1908 in his work Hind Swaraj. COVID19 pandamic is the logical consequence of full ecological destruction of the biosphere by modern civilization with its dams and other contraptions attacking nature.

My calculations shown in Tables 1 and 1a result in Figure 1 which goes to show how the disaster follows World Dam Dynamics. Scroll down for the Figure and the Tables.

Compared to the tail race intake elevation of 255m, the Left Bank Power House elevation is at 347 m( as per check from Google Earth data by me). See Google Earth picture below.
