The state government had tweeted on Sunday, quoting a CESC report, that power supply was restored to several parts of Calcutta, including Regent Estate in Jadavpur.
On Monday, residents of Regent Estate told The Telegraph that only 25 of the 200-odd houses had the supply restored.
“We read in newspapers that power supply was back in most parts of our area. But most households are still without electricity,” said Shibaji Bhowmik, the secretary of the Regent Estate Association.
A visit to the neighbourhood revealed that uprooted poles were still lying along or on the roads. Cables that had invaded balconies during the storm were not removed and passages were still blocked by uprooted trees.
