Nath further stated, “I express my regret for the suffering of the people of the state due to the interruption of electricity service following the post-cyclone rain situation. Since the entire process is mechanical, extra time is required for repair work.”

Power Minister Nath also requested the people of the state to extend their cooperation.

“I kindly ask you to consider the situation in a way that your distress and anger do not affect the electricity repair teams. It is hoped that the electricity service of the entire state will be operational very soon,” he added.
