A severe Kalbaishakhi storm caused significant damage in the Palibandha Panchayat of Ganjam block. Uprooted trees and fallen electric poles have left four villages—Khatuakuda, Podampeta, Kantiagada, and Gokharakuda—without power. While restoration work began in Niladripur, residents of other affected villages have expressed frustration over the delay amidst intense heat. Villagers have threatened to launch a protest if electricity is not restored by Wednesday. https://www.dharitri.com/kalabaisakhi-four-villages-in-the-dark/ #creator program
