Heavy snow in central Japan stranded hundreds of vehicles on highways and caused power outages on Tuesday. About 20,000 households were left without electricity in Kashiwazaki and other cities of Niigata Prefecture, west of Fukushima. Disaster-relief teams of the Self-Defence Forces were deployed in some cities of Niigata after the local government requested help to resolve the traffic congestion.
