Diglipur, Dec 07: Dec: As heavy rains lashed entire Andaman & Nicobar Islands the North & Middle Andaman also suffered some brunt of the cyclonic weather conditions.
Severe power cuts throughout North Andaman have been witnessed since yesterday.
Due to heavy winds several power lines snapped at many places, like the one from Kalara junction to Mohanpur which has a stretch of about 55 KM area. The entire area is under total darkness since yesterday.
The Electricity department is working round the clock for restoration of power situation.
BSNL connectivity is giving nightmares in Baratang, Rangat, Mayabunder and Diglipur regions. The landlines are only functional near telephone exchanges. Due to lack of mobile connectivity and continuous power snapping the public are heavily suffering.
Speaking to Andaman Sheekha Asst. Commissioner of Diglipur region, Mr A K Trivedi said that the Disaster Management team is on high alert and there is no report of any major untoward incident till now. The situation is under control and the Disaster management team is active 24×7 and monitoring the situation”.
