Hyderabad: Hundreds of ATMs went kaput as several localities in the city went without power supply for more than 24 hours. While ATMs located in bank branches ran for four to five hours with back-up power, those located on main roads were unable to dispense any money. The worst-hit area was Secunderabad.
The 1912 call centre received over 8,000 calls from 9 pm on Saturday to 9 pm on Sunday even as thousands of citizens complained they were not able to lodge complaint as the 1912 line remained busy.
