-amid ongoing road construction
By Khamisi Slowe
Residents of North and South Ruimveldt were plunged into darkness on Thursday night when multiple utility poles along a section of Aubrey Barker Road collapsed, cutting off electricity and water services.
The incident which occurred around 8 pm did not cause any injury but the situation worsened yesterday when additional poles fell. Power was finally restored to the area at about 7.30 pm yesterday.
The incident has raised questions about the quality of the pole installation work and whether road construction or activities by GPL might have triggered it.
