WB govt mounting pressure on CESC to restore power in Kolkata, its neighbourhood: Mayor
Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim on Monday said the state government is mounting pressure on private power utility CESC for increasing its pace of work to restore electricity at all corners of the city, which was left in shambles after Cyclone Amphan struck on May 20.
The private power utility, however, insisted that it has “completed 95 per cent of the work”, and electricity has been restored in most parts of Kolkata and its neighbourhood.
Protests have been raging on in several parts of the city, where the residents claimed that they have been going without power and water supply for the last five days.
