Electricity Supply Restored to 29 Lakh Consumers in Andhra 'Cyclone Murasu'

Andhra Pradesh power utilities have restored electricity to nearly 29 lakh consumers in cyclone-affected areas, with restoration work progressing across coastal districts.

Special Chief Secretary (Energy) K Vijayanand reviewed the restoration operations at the State Load Dispatch Centre (APSLDC) and appreciated electricity personnel for working round the clock under challenging weather



conditions.

"Electricity supply has been restored to nearly 29 lakh consumers in cyclone-hit areas, and restoration work is continuing across the affected coastal districts," Vijayanand said in an official release late on Thursday.

Cyclone Murasu, which made landfall near Kothapatnam on November 3, severely damaged power infrastructure in Bapatla, Prakasam, Palnadu, Guntur, NTR and Krishna districts.
