Port Blair, May 4: It has been noticed that since the last few months that various agencies/contractors are executing excavation work alongside the road without giving any intimation to the Electricity Department. During such excavation work which involves the drilling and digging activity, the high tension power cable of 33 KV and 11 KV running along the roadside are being damaged resulting in long hours power interruption, which causes huge unrest amongst the public as the repair work of damaged cables takes on an average of 10 to 12 hours and the time increases further in case of multiple damage of the cables.
