Four days after strong winds brought three towers down around 7.30 pm on Wednesday resulting in an electricity outage, power supply was finally completely restored on Sunday evening.
Power had been cut off at the IT City, Ramgarh Bhudda and Pabhat grids, paralysing supply to the city’s densely-populated areas, following collapse of towers at Badi village on Airport road. The outage continued on Thursday and Friday and Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) restored partial power supply — with alternate hour-cuts — in the area on Friday evening.
PSPCL chief engineer Sandeep Gupta had at the time said over 100 electricians were working on repairing the towers since Wednesday evening, but were hindered by constant rain.
