Dangling cables pose a threat to pedestrians

Kochi | Wednesday | 12th February, 2020

Summary:

One of the poles, weighed down by numerous cables, is now leaning on to the road, posing a threat to motorists. According to the shopkeepers, people resort to cutting the low-hanging cables and twisting them into the bunch, leaving behind stray ends that could easily poke pedestrians in eyes. “‘We regularly issue notices regarding the cables to around a dozen operators in the area. In other places, the issue is promptly handled by getting people to tie the cables higher or cut them off. In the SN Junction area, the cables are undisturbed since there are a few establishments whose works depend on these cables,” he said..
