Power supply snapped in Himachal’s Hamirpur as truck breaks electric poles

The power supply was snapped in most parts of Hamirpur as an overloaded truck carrying material to Sujanpur broke the electric pole located outside the mini-secretariat on Monday morning.

No casualties were reported. The truck driver fled the scene after the incident and police efforts are on to intercept him.

Due to the breaking of the electric pole, a network of wires has fallen on the road and teams of the power board were busy restoring the power supply and reinstalling the broken pole and other wires leading to other parts of the town, an official spokesman said.
