Power supply has been restored to approximately 29 lakh consumers across cyclone-damaged areas in Andhra Pradesh, marking a major milestone in the state's recovery operations. The restoration work involved coordinated efforts by electricity distribution companies to repair damaged infrastructure and reconnect affected households and businesses to the grid.
The cyclone had caused extensive damage to the power distribution network, leaving millions without electricity across multiple districts. Engineers and technical teams were mobilized to assess damage, clear fallen trees and debris from power lines, and repair transformers and other critical infrastructure components.
The restoration effort demonstrates the state's commitment to normalizing conditions in affected regions. Authorities have prioritized restoration in densely populated areas and regions dependent on electricity for essential services, including hospitals and water supply systems.
Officials continue monitoring power infrastructure in cyclone-affected zones to ensure sustained supply and prevent future disruptions. The restoration work is part of a broader rehabilitation initiative aimed at returning affected communities to normalcy following the severe weather event.
