He explained about how during the election campaigns the department faced many issues regarding power and how now the staffs of corporation have been creating issues by digging storm water drains and it has resulted in puncturing of the lines. The officials have pointed out that the corporation staffs used earth movers to dig and puncture the power carrying lines.

According to an engineer of Tangedco, in the recent times the civic staffs have punctured as many as 3 cables on the P. H. Road and New Avadi road.

The important information is Tangedco officials have complained this issue to police and corporation and it is revealed that the puncturing of the power lines has been present since 2 weeks of time.
