Rain disrupts power supply in Rajamundry

Several electric poles were uprooted and overhead transmission lines snapped in and around Rajahmundry

Rajahmundry: A brief spell of heavy downpour accompanied with gales, thunderbolts and lightening caused disruption of power as several electric poles were uprooted and overhead transmission lines snapped in and around Rajahmundry on Wednesday. Under its influence, power supply was disrupted at Bommur, Navabharat Nagar and some parts in the city and also at Anaparthy, Dwarapudi and other areas for several hours in East Godavari.

Rajahmundry circle EPDCL superintending engineer Gangadhar said, “We are trying to restore power supply by attending to the problems and we expect to restore the power very soon.” In West Godavari several parts witnessed rainfall inundating low-lying areas and causing hardships to the commuters. EPDCL authorities say that there were no reports of power disruption for long hours so far in the district.
