State Electric Company Limited (STELCO) has awarded a 'Medal of Bravery' to an employee who "narrowly escaped permanent disability or even death after being struck with a large wrench" while trying to prevent a transformer theft.
The incident took place around 09:30 pm last night. The transformer break-in was flagged after the thief cut one of the cables which supplied electricity to the MPL flats in Hulhumalé.
