Electricity and communication networks hit at many places
Cyclone Gulab caused heavy damage in many parts of Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts. Electricity and communication networks were destroyed and uprooted trees brought traffic to a grinding halt on many roads.
Several villages were cut off due to the downpour. Power supply has been disrupted since September 26 evening.
APEPDCL officials indicated that restoration of power supply would take quite some time as new electric poles need to be erected in the place of a large number of fallen ones. The DISCOM has set up control rooms in Srikakulam (9490612633) and Vizianagaram (9490610102) and other places.
