Bhubaneswar: In a bid to tackle deficiency in manpower for restoration of electricity, the state government has decided to rope in ITI and Polytechnic students. The students will visit households in Puri and Bhubaneswar to help in restoration of electricity in the aftermath of cyclone Fani.
Secretary, Information and Public Relations department, Sanjay Singh said that the state government had earlier roped in the students in Ganjam during restoration work after cyclone Phailin in 2013. “Many households might have problems in electricity connecting lines. So the students will move door to door to fix those problems,” said Singh.
