Tata Power Delhi Distribution limited (TPDDl) and Tata Power limited together brought back normalcy in Vizag, the port city of Andhra Pradesh, which witnessed the deadliest cyclone ‘Hud Hud’ by restoring power in a record time of 72 hours. The cyclone with a speed of 195 km/hour brought along heavy rains and resulted in major power crisis in Vizag. The IT city remained powerless for nine days thus affecting the normal life. The storm not only damaged power network but also claimed several lives across the cyclone torn city.
TPDDl’s Disaster Management Cell took stock of the situation to understand the extent of damage and to restore power in consultation with the AP State Power Department. A team of 100 electricians and technicians also left for Vizag to help the state government in relief and rehabilitation work.
TPDDl’s Disaster Management Cell is formed on the lines of Tata Group’s Tata Relief Committee which swings into action to help people in any part of the country which is hit by any disaster.
