The traffic police and electricity distributor Mahavitaran officials flexed their muscles in Mulund by using their powers against each other on Thursday. While the cops arrested a contractor of the power company, the latter snapped electricity supply to a traffic chowki.

The tussle led to signals at the busy Sonapur Junction going blank for half an hour. During this time, the traffic chowki’s CCTV cameras, computers and walkie-talkies also stopped working. It was sorted out after intervention by senior officers.
