Pune: Cable Breakage During Road Construction Leads to 12 Hour Power Cut in Sangvi
Pune, 5th May 2023: Residents of Sangvi in Pune had to face a 12-hour power outage due to cable damage caused by road work. The power outage lasted from midnight until noon the next day. The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) has issued a statement saying that the power outage was caused by the breakage of two 11 KV cables during road work in the area.
The MSEDCL stated that it took them 7 hours to restore the power supply to the affected areas. The process was further delayed due to the limited availability of workers and technicians, who were all busy attending to similar complaints across the city.
