Odisha CM: Puri suffered huge damage
Bhubaneswar:4.5.2019
Puri suffered massive damage in Cyclone Fani, Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik said here on Friday.
Naveen, who reviewed the situation arising out of the cyclone, said, “Puri town and Puri district, where the cyclone made landfall, suffered huge damage. Energy infrastructure has been completely destroyed. Restoration of electricity is a challenging task.” The chief minister said electricity supply in Ganjam would be restored by Saturday while it is being taken up on a war footing in other places.
Naveen said damage assessment would start once the cyclone crossed Odisha. He added that 12 lakh people had been evacuated to safety in the past 24 hours. “Our immediate priorities are taking care of the people evacuated and staying in cyclone shelters and other such places,” he said. TNN
