By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Nov.3: Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) said that the supply of electricity has been restored in all areas of Jajarkot and Rukum West except in areas where houses have collapsed from the earthquake. 

The power supply was stopped because of damage to poles and transmission lines. A team deployed by NEA had repaired damaged pipes and poles and restored electricity by 10 AM. 

According to the Authority's Karnali Provincial Office, Surkhet Chief Shambhu Kusiyat Yadav, electricity lines of hospitals were restored at first.

Yadav said that rescue work is going on in places where houses were damaged, and the power supply has been cut off as there will be more accidents in rescue areas as such areas are incident-prone. 

The power supply has been cut off in more damaged areas whereas other areas have normal supply.
