Thunderstorm coupled with heavy winds disrupted power supply in many parts of Hyderabad as well as in several districts of Telangana on Tuesday evening with power transmission and distribution installations suffering heavy damage disrupting power supply for hours.
The staff of the two power utilities swung into action to restore supply wherever possible by removing the tree branches, hoardings, flex posters, roof top metal sheets and other material fallen on the transmission and distribution lines and installations. According to the officials of Southern Discom, Banjara Hills Circle bore the maximum brunt of the heavy winds with power supply completed disrupted in all the 12 feeders from 4.30 pm or 5.30 pm.
