Hyderabad: Heavy winds and trees falling on power lines on Tuesday late night led to line trips at multiple locations.

Nagar, Ameerpet, KPHB Colony, Kukatpally, Bhagyanagar Colony, Pragathi Nagar, as well as off-take Points and bulk connections, it said
TGSPDCL officials identified power-affected locations and immediately undertook repair works. Pumps will be restarted as soon as power supply is restored, an official release said.
Meanwhile, HMWSSB Managing Director K Ashok Reddy inquired with officials about the latest status of restoration works and directed them to expedite repairs in coordination with TGSPDCL officials.
