In the wake of a blackout, water supply in almost all affected villages which are dependent on bore-wells had been affected.
As per information received, the Energy Department has deployed ground staff under the guidance of senior officials to undertake restoration work.
“As of now, the Department has figured out felling of around 80 electric poles in the region. We have launched an extensive restoration work and soon it would be completed,” said Divisional Engineer of CSEB Bemetara A D Tandon.
