BENGALURU: Karnataka will send 1,000 staffers from its five state-run power distribution companies to help restore the crippled power network in Odisha in the aftermath of cyclone Fani. This follows Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy’s directive to Chief Secretary T M Vijay Bhaskar to offer assistance in restoring the devastated infrastructure in Odisha, which was ravaged by the cyclone on May 3.
The Chief Secretary told The New Indian Express, “We agreed to provide assistance to the Chief Secretary of Odisha. They need a total of 100 teams to restore the power network. Our first batch will leave on Monday from Bengaluru.”
