Officials said four culverts were washed away in the flash floods, snapping road connectivity and hampering restoration efforts. The cloudburst also caused widespread disruption to electricity and drinking water supply, leaving residents of Mayan and adjoining villages facing considerable hardship. “We are hopeful that power and drinking water services will be restored by Friday, provided the weather remains favourable,” he said. The department said raw water transmission pipelines were extensively damaged, resulting in disruption of drinking water supply to several villages. It assured the public that efforts were underway to restore the damaged infrastructure and resume water supply at the earliest.
