SUKKUR: Over 200 feeders of Sukkur Electric Power Company installed in different towns tripped during heavy rain in Sukkur and Larkana divisions on Wednesday.

SEPCO officials said that as it had not stopped raining for the last 24 hours, the feeders remained tripped. Technical teams were busy fixing faults in the feeders so that power supply could be restored in time, they said.

Many feeders at several power stations had been made operational and power supply had been restored to the areas, they said.

The rain also disrupted communication system and public transport. Passengers had to wait for several hours at bus stands and railway stations as most of the trains were running late and buses were stopped along the roadsides because of heavy rain.

People preferred to park their vehicles off the roads since most streets and roads were flooded which had made them un-motorable.
