With underground power-cabling works still in progress in most parts of Canacona, residents endure long power failures, and the Electricity Department faces heavy losses in restoration and maintenance.

A fallen tree in Saleri, Khola village, broke two poles and bent a third. Restoration efforts are ongoing, with Canacona Assistant Engineer Govind Bhat noting costs of about Rs 8 lakhs. Heavy rains and strong winds have caused losses worth around Rs 5 lakhs, with 30 poles damaged across Canacona, costing about Rs 20 lakhs for restoration.
