Landslides and Windstorm Disrupt Power Supply in Arunachal Pradesh's Tirap District

Heavy landslides and a strong windstorm caused significant damage to 33 kV and 11 kV power lines in Tirap district's Khonsa division, disrupting electricity supply across multiple locations including Khonsa town, Pansumthong, and Hollam. Continuous heavy rainfall has delayed restoration efforts, with officials estimating power restoration may take three to four days, depending on weather improvements. The Power Department has urged residents to be patient while repair work continues.
