In an office order issued on Monday, all the organisations in power transmission and distribution were directed to open control rooms to take measures and assess any damage by Cyclone Sitrang, and inform the Power Division.
The Power Division has asked the people to contact the entities through these numbers in case of any emergency due to the cyclone.
