Forty-eight hours after a storm uprooted many trees and electricity poles and damaged several transformers in the region, the authorities said power had been restored in a majority of affected areas. Punjab State Power Corporation superintending engineer Satwinder Singh Sehmbi said the power supply would be restored in the remaining residential areas by tomorrow. “However, electricity will not be supplied to a large number of tube wells for the next few days as many transformers have been damaged,” he said.
