The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) disconnected the power supply to seven Irrigation department offices, including the Division Office at Chittur for defaulting the bill amount. KSEB officials said they disconnected the power supply on Wednesday afternoon.
After a holiday on Thursday, the office functioning disrupted on Friday and the computers could not be operated. However, the KSEB did not disconnect the power connection for drinking water supply.
Although the power had been disconnected in a similar incident about a month ago, the supply was restored after a few hours on the same day.
