Three workers of BSES, which supplies electricity to northeast Delhi, were injured in the communal violence and the power discom's distribution infrastructure suffered considerable damage, an official said.
Despite odds, BSES Yamuna Power Limited(BYPL) teams worked in the field and managed to restore power supply in the affected areas with the help of Delhi Police, said a BSES official.
Police personnel also provided passage to BYPL's field staff to attend to individual breakdown complaints in the riot-hit areas, he said.
"Three linemen were also stabbed, one of them seriously, while on duty near Sonia Vihar on the night of February 25. Fortunately, all survived."
