Power supply affected in 14 Bengal districts due to Cyclone Yaas
People of 14 of the 23 districts of West Bengal faced electricity outage due to Cyclone Yaas and many sub-stations are under water following heavy rain induced by the storm on Wednesday, Power Minister Aroop Biswas said. He said he sought a report from the power utilities of the state for loss assessment within 72 hours.
“There is waist-level water in many locations. A number of sub-stations are now under water. Loss assessment will be available after ground surveys,” Biswas said.
The state-owned West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL) supplies power to most of the districts.
