The heavy downpour on Sunday evening accompanied by strong wind in many parts of the city not only brought down the mercury level but also damaged eight electric poles and a 250kv transformer. TANGEDCO’s Superintending Engineer (Metro Madurai) C. Vennila and her team of engineers swung into action and replaced the damaged poles. Though the TANGEDCO men had recently trimmed trees and felled some before the rains, the power cables got snapped resulting in outage in the city and suburbs such as Surya Nagar, Uthangudi, Valar Nagar, KK Nagar, Anna Nagar, Tiruppalai, K. Pudur, Sellur, Al Ameen Nagar.More Related News
