Amidst heavy snowfall in the Smolyan region, 20 villages and hamlets grapple with partial or complete power outages due to incidents caused by the severe weather conditions.
The affected areas primarily span across the municipalities of Smolyan, Banite, and Devin, where fallen trees have led to overhead power line disruptions. While reassuring that major population centers remain unaffected, EVN, the electricity provider, is actively addressing the issues.
