Heavy rains and strong winds during the persisting deep depression caused power cuts for three days in certain locations in Purbasthali, Kalna of East Burdwan that invited a road block by the aggrieved residents on Monday. The locals blocked the road at Parulia market area for two hours which was lifted only after WBSEDCL’s station manager Indranil Debnath assured restoration by this evening. The officials said, uprooted trees caused indiscriminate snapping to power cables and stabilization staff couldn’t assume charge due to uninterrupted rainfall.
