Raman Nagar Social Media (@v_iyc) May 26, 2020 Siddappa, a BESCOM engineer in Koramangala division, told TNM, "Three electric poles fell during the rains in our division. This might happen because a tree falls on a wire, and the wires are unable to withstand the weight, and so the pole also comes down. We have to then cut the power supply, and clear the trees before we can fix the poles and resume power. Now the poles have all been fixed.
