Mangalore, June 18: Gusty winds uprooted a mighty tree damaging at least five electric poles on Kalpana Road in the city on Friday evening.
The power supply was immediately cut off and the road was blocked completely making hundreds of families residing in apartments in the area suffer.
However, the workers of Mescom, fire and emergency personnel and the police swung into action to clear the road block and to restore power supply within four hours.
While the fire and emergency personnel removed the tree that was lying on the road, the team of Mescom workers replaced the damaged poles using cranes and other equipment within a short period.
It was not raining heavily and there was only drizzling for a few hours during the day.
