Quebec, Apr 9 (Canadian-Media): More than 250,000 hydro clients across southern Quebec were without power on Tuesday after freezing rain hit the region on Monday, media reports said.

​Emergency officials said Tuesday afternoon that power will not be fully restored for at least another 24 hours.

Most of those cases were in the Laval and Lanaudière regions north of Montreal, and the Laurentians, located northeast of Quebec City. ​
