Dumper hit the pole, electricity failed in the area

Korba. The dumper hit the roadside street light pole near Deepka Chowk, which damaged the pole. There was darkness on the road due to interruption of power supply due to delay in improvement. Heavy vehicles engaged in transporting coal from the coal mine put pressure on the road. The traffic could resume only after the damaged pole was removed.

Street lights have been installed along the road from Deepka Thana Chowk to Shramik Chowk. Around 4 pm on Friday evening, the dumper driver damaged the street light while driving carelessly. Due to this, the movement of heavy vehicles engaged in coal transportation stopped for a while. SECL’s power reform staff reached the spot and removed the street light pole that fell on the road. After this the movement of heavy vehicles started. Due to the delay in the improvement work, there was darkness on the road in the evening.
