The heavy downpour on Sunday night led to many electrical damages in the city, causing power interruptions, especially in the areas near the Outer Ring Road (ORR).
According to reports from Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom), a power station in Kadubeesanahalli had been shut down owing to flooding, while a couple of transformers at other places were also affected. Around 15 electricity poles broke down, as trees fell on them.
“Our station in Kadubeesanahalli has been severely flooded as there was an overflow from the BWSSB sewage plant next to it. The station was turned off since 4 a.m. and electricity supply was affected in the nearby areas. By evening, power supply had been restored in all the affected areas,” said S.R. Nagaraj, General Manager (Customer Relations), Bescom.
