1st glimpse of damage I have come across here. Being told there's massive damage in Puri. En route Puri. Since network is patchy, whenever I get internet, I'll do twitter lives to show as much as possible.

WATCH how electricity poles are being repaired. Capital Bhubhaneswar is still getting erratic power supply. PURI IS IN TOTAL DARKNESS.
In the next tweet, I'll share my interview with Odisha government's sr engineer on the difficulties being saved👇🏻
Govt engineer tells me, "Weather is hot & humid. No drinking water. But have to give villages power ASAP"
Will take ~20days to restore power

Look at this long queue of Puri residents to get Kerosene. They need it for lanterns- the only light source they have as there's ZERO electricity.
I'll continue to report.

Look how the entire city of Puri is spending nights in this HOT, HUMID & UNBEARABLE weather without electricity. Yes, NO fans, NO ACs, NO refrigerators, insufficient food.
I'll put more reports tomorrow.

Look at how cars have been crushed in #CycloneFani.
