Though the partly cloudy skies on Tuesday saved the temperature in take a look at, energy utilities CESC and WBSEDCL warned of extra blackouts, ignored suits and stifling nights if the reasonable heatwave situation persevered.
From Behala’s Pathakpara to Garfa, Baghajatin and Golf Green to Tala and Baguiati, blackouts intermittently dogged localities on a day the mercury had soared to document ranges.
Around 9.30pm on Monday when the Belgium staff used to be beginning to threaten the Panama objective in the second 1/2, Behala’s Pathakpara plunged into darkness.

We tried to name the CESC helpline but all lines were busy. When we in spite of everything were given through after nearly an hour, the buyer care executive stated a fault had occurred and it would take at least two hours to revive provide. It used to be round 4am the electrical energy used to be restored,” stated Pathakpara Road resident Nivedita Basu.
