Over 2,500 staff members from two Telangana power distribution companies have been working continuously for two days to restore electricity in areas of Andhra Pradesh affected by Cyclone Arnab.
The Southern Discom has sent 1,400 employees, accompanied by emergency response vehicles and specialized equipment such as pole augers and tree-cutting machines. The Northern Discom has deployed 1,127 personnel, organized into 114 special teams.
These teams are tasked with replacing damaged poles, conductors, and distribution transformers. The Northern Discom personnel are operating in various locations across Andhra Pradesh, including Amalapuram, Razole, and Bhimavaram.
Officials from the Northern Discom stated that these restoration efforts highlight the cooperative spirit and humanitarian values shared between the two Telugu-speaking states. The Telangana utilities have also offered to send additional staff if needed to expedite the completion of the work.
