HSR Layout is powerless after yesterday’s rains due to tree and pole collapses

Yesterday’s continuous rains have wrecked havoc in HSR Layout, leading to several residents suffering power breakdowns. This has led to water shortage too as the sump and borewell motors need electricity to transport water to the overhead tank. With BWSSB’s schedule being erratic, the residents were far more inconvenienced as they were getting Cauvery water but there was no electricity to send that supply to the storage tank.

 

According to Bescom officials, over a hundred complaints were registered overnight. Strong winds led to many tree falls and pole collapses across HSR Layout. This has led to outages across the neighbourhood, causing much agony to the residents. These pictures will convey the story better than any words would.

 

Bescom officials are doing their rounds of the neighbourhood to fix the faults. In other places, there was sparking in the transformers that had tripped the MCB’s. After fixing the sparking, the power is now back in several homes.

 

While Bescom officials claim that they have begun trimming the trees, fixing the leaning poles and errant transformers to be monsoon-ready, much more needs to be done to avoid the entire neighbourhood going dark for over 18 hours, like it happened in several parts of HSR Layout, including Sector 3, since 5pm yesterday.
