Latakia-SANA
The rainstorm in Lattakia Governorate led to nearly 500 electrical network failures between low and medium voltage lines and switching centers, and the fall of a number of low and medium tension towers, in addition to the significant damage caused by high electrical loads as a result of citizens' consumption.
Engineer Jaber Al-Assi, director of the Latakia Electricity Company, said in a statement to SANA reporter that the company's workshops are working around the clock to follow up on repair operations.
Marwan Iskandar, head of the Northern Department of Emergency Maintenance, explained that the department includes a large work sector extending from the northern entrance to Latakia towards the Blue Beach, Al-Morouj and Ras Al-Shamra. Heavy and strong winds. As the rationing conditions constitute an additional obstacle to their work, there are some problems that can not be discovered technically without the presence of electric current.
Iskandar added: The number of malfunctions that were reported during one day has reached more than 138, and the number of malfunctions since morning until now has reached more than 70.
In turn, the worker in the northern maintenance department, Yasser Zarawand, explained that the electricity workshops operate at their full capacity around the clock, as they are run to the fault sites at maximum speed after receiving communications from citizens via mobile phones and recording them to be dealt with as possible.
