Some parts of the Capital City are currently without electricity.

Energy Fiji Limited states cable damage caused by digging activity caused the disruption to a feeder, affecting several businesses and offices.

EFL spokesperson Karunesh Rao says a team is working to sectionalize and identify the source of the damage and restore power to affected areas as soon as possible.
