Three brigades of workers from the Las Tunas Electricity Company are already in Santiago de Cuba to support the restoration of the damage caused by Tropical Storm Laura to the electricity grid in that territory.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- The team is made up of 22 men, in addition to several specialized vehicles, managers and mechanics, said René Rocío Pupo, deputy director of the Company in this eastern Cuban province. On Santiago soil, they joined their colleagues from Holguín and Granma.
