Mayabunder, May 17: The entire Mayabunder region today suffered nearly 10 hour long power cut due to some technical reasons. The power cut hit those candidates hard, who have come all the way from Middle Andaman and North Andaman region to Mayabunder for constable recruitment rally.
Youth allege that due to power cut they were unable to even charge their mobile and contact their family members. Local residents and businessmen were equally troubled.
The power went off at around 11.00 am but even after repeated attempts no official of Electricity Department could tell public about the right reason behind the power cut.
Unconfirmed report said that there were some faults in underground power cable.
Later the power supply was restored only by 9.00 pm, bringing some relief to people of the region.
