To prevent casualties or a fire incident, security personnel closed down the road where the affected pole fell down, and vehicles were being diverted to other routes. The gridlock is also as a result of the huge vehicular traffic.

The area has since been left in darkness, as Council authorities are working hard to restore power and fix the situation.
