The Provincial Electricity Authority trimmed trees on North Road to prevent power outages.

Crews were out near Su­khumvit Road Jan. 17, paring back branches that had grown perilously close to power lines. The fear is that they would either blow on fall onto lines, causing fires, short-circuits and power outages.

The operation took about two hours. Similar tree pruning will continue throughout the area.
