Blackout in South Chennai

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, JAN. 10. Parts of South Chennai including Thiruvanmiyur, Adyar, Indira Nagar and Taramani were plunged into darkness for more than two hours this evening following a power failure.

The supply, which went off at about 6 p.m. was restored only after 8-30 p.m. Residents of the area complained about the time taken by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) in attending to the problem.

Citing transformer fault in Thiruvanmiyur as the reason, a TNEB spokesman said the supply was cut off after ``smoke and spark'' were noticed from a ``relay'' in the sub-station.
