West Bengal inches back to normalcy as 17,000 civic workers engage in restoration works

The power situation in Kolkata and its adjoining districts has now improved significantly after trees fell on supply lines in the city and transformers developed mechanical snags in the aftermath of the cyclone. As traffic along the main arterial roads in Kolkata was restored on Sunday, many people who had been evacuated from North and South 24 Parganas started returning homes.

Chairman of the Board of Administrators, Firhad Hakim said traffic along main roads had been restored and that the Army, along with National Disaster Relief Force personnel and State Disaster Relief Force personnel were working tirelessly to bring back normalcy to the state with crucial help from conservancy workers of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
