A police team arrived at the scene soon after and found leakage of current from the pole. As it approached the official (left) handling the electricity department helpline, after he failed to answer repeated calls made by local residents, the latter dilly-dallied on the matter and refused to give the telephone number of the junior engineer concerned. He contended that streetlights fell in the jurisdiction of the municipal corporation and not the electricity department. After a delay of three hours, the fault was finally rectified at 2.55 am.
