The disruption of electricity caused inconveniences to the railway passengers who couldn’t use the lift to reach platform numbers 2 and 3 and back.

Sources reminded in winter and foggy conditions electricity poles across the roads become most vulnerable to such hit and run by the trucks.

There is one more reason. Long winter night driving fatigues the drivers.
