Pre-Monsoon Rains Cause Extensive Damage to Bengaluru Power Infrastructure

Pre-Monsoon Rains Cause Extensive Damage to Bengaluru Power Infrastructure

Imagine it's raining really hard in Bengaluru, and the wind is strong!

The heavy rain and wind have damaged a lot of electricity poles and transformers, which are like the wires and boxes that bring power to homes.

More poles and transformers were damaged this year than last year.

Officials say it's because the rain and wind were much stronger this year.

They are working with other groups to fix things, but experts think better ways to maintain the power lines could help stop the damage.

It's costing a lot of money to fix the damage.
