Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu on Monday, who paid a visit to the load despatch centre at the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (Tangedco) headquarters in the city, said the parts of the city which were still inundated and places where power substations themselves were flooded were yet to receive electricity.
Speaking to a private television channel, he said power had been restored completely in some places and was being restored in phases. “Of the 1,877 feeders, we have ensured that 1,725 feeders have been restored, while the rest are being restored,” he said.
Mr. Thennarasu said Tangedco’s social media was being monitored and complaints were being relayed. “Kits Park (230 kV), Perumbakkam (110 kV), TNSCB, and Ennore substations have suffered due to flooding, which are the main feeders. The water has entered the substation, and we are pumping it out,” he said.
