The company announced its Finolex Alok Suraksha Samman Awards to reward excellence in creative lighting and safety measures in the electrical arrangements in the pandals &#8212; and get some good publicity as well. &#8220;Our objective is to promote the awareness of safe usage of electricity even for a temporary event as this four-day festival&#8221;, said G. K. Banerjee, vice-president of Finolex cables. The company would be holding one-day workshops to educate electricians about safe methods of wiring inside pandals. The best performer would be awarded a prize money of nearly US$3,000 and US$300 would be given to the electrical contractor. As well as the award for the best pandal, 24 electricians would be awarded over USD $60 each for their performance. They would also be taken to the company&#8217;s Electro club, where electricians would be given technical training for better and safe use of electricity. In a team operation with Bajaj Allianz, each winner would also be covered under a personal insurance scheme ranging from US$550 to nearly US$2,200.<BR><br \/>\n<\/P> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SourceKOLKATA, INDIA, September 20, 2004: It is not only the Durga icon or the pandals that fetched prizes this year,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4713\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
