Multiple reports cite Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister Nirmalkumar regarding ongoing efforts to restore electricity in parts of Chennai following recent power disruptions. The minister says additional technical teams are deployed to bring power back in areas including Perambur and Villivakkam. He also states that electricity has already been restored in some localities, but that service restoration and stabilization work continues in the affected zones. In his comments, Nirmalkumar alleges that certain people are instigating local residents to launch protests even after supply is restored. He frames the allegation as interference with restoration efforts rather than a continued service failure. The reports present the minister’s position that the response is focused on restoring power and managing public unrest while repair teams work in specific neighbourhoods. Both articles rely on the same core claims: deployment of additional teams for restoration and a ministerial allegation about attempts to provoke protests despite the return of electricity in some areas.
