A vehicle crash in Mohali caused two 11 kV electricity poles to collapse, and utility crews have begun restoration work.
A vehicle collision in the city of Mohali resulted in the failure of two 11 kV distribution poles. The impact was strong enough to snap the poles from their foundations, prompting an immediate safety cordon around the site.
The broken poles disrupted the local power supply, causing temporary outages in nearby residential and commercial areas. Electricity providers dispatched repair teams to assess the damage and restore service as quickly as possible.
Utility officials confirmed that restoration work has commenced, with crews installing replacement poles and re‑energising the affected feeder lines. They have asked residents to remain cautious around the repair zone and report any further hazards.
The incident underscores the need for careful driving near utility infrastructure, especially in densely populated urban corridors where power assets are closely spaced.
Authorities will continue to monitor the situation and ensure that normal electricity service is fully resumed within the next few hours.
