THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: IT’S a double whammy for the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). Even as the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic continues to rage, the rough weather due to the depression in the Arabian Sea has rendered the staff struggling to restore power supply in many areas, especially the coastal districts which have been witnessing heavy rain and gusty wind over the past two days.
