Ramnagar Storm Causes Extensive Damage to Power Infrastructure A severe storm that struck Ramnagar and Kaladhunga assembly constituency late at night caused significant damage to the power supply system. The natural disaster resulted in over 15 lakh rupees worth of losses for the electricity department. The storm toppled 18 power poles and damaged approximately 3 kilometers of electrical lines, leading to widespread power outages in the affected areas. Strong winds and heavy rains caused large trees to fall, damaging power lines and poles. As a result, several regions in Ramnagar and surrounding areas experienced power cuts from late night onwards, causing inconvenience to residents. The electricity department confirmed that the storm caused extensive damage to the power infrastructure, with 18 poles and nearly 3 kilometers of lines affected. The department's chief engineer, Govind Singh Karak, stated that the damage is estimated at more than 15 lakh rupees. Following the disruption, staff and technical teams were immediately deployed to repair the damaged infrastructure to restore power as quickly as possible. In addition to the power outages, the storm also caused damage to crops, particularly the standing wheat fields of farmers. Several vehicles were also damaged due to fallen trees. The incident highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to extreme weather events and the need for timely recovery efforts.#storm #ramnagar #kaladhunga #govind_singh_karak #electricity_department
