Balasore – July 29, 2025 – As flood conditions persist across parts of northern Odisha,
employees of TP Northern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPNODL) continue to work
relentlessly to carry out repair and restoration work, braving challenging and often risky
environments. Continuous rainfall has led to waterlogging and swampy terrain, increasing the
risk of accidents, including encounters with poisonous reptiles. Despite these difficulties,
TPNODL teams are on the ground, carrying electric poles, wires, and critical equipment to
restore electricity in affected areas. In locations submerged by floodwaters, the power supply
is being strategically disconnected as a precautionary measure to ensure public safety. Once
conditions stabilize, restoration is undertaken on a war footing to resume normalcy as quickly
as possible.
While TPNODL remains committed to delivering quality and uninterrupted power supply, it is
equally focused on safeguarding the lives of both its employees and consumers. The company
has urged all consumers to take essential precautions during the ongoing flood situation. In
particular, it advises switching off the main power supply in case of water leakage in meter
cabins, avoiding contact with electrical setups using wet hands, and ensuring that any wiring
alterations are carried out only by licensed electricians. Consumers are also requested not to
overload their electrical systems, refrain from driving vehicles over electric cables that may be
lying on the ground, and immediately report any sparking observed in streetlights or electric
poles.
TPNODL appeals to the public to remain alert and cooperate by following these safety
guidelines. For any electricity-related assistance or to report emergencies, consumers can
contact the 24×7 helpline numbers 1800-345-6718 or 1912. TPNODL remains deeply
committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its consumers during these testing times.
