He told the council of the corporation that the service providers should remove such hanging cables posing danger to pedestrians and vehicles, on their own by January 6. The civic body will assess later how many of them are authorised ones and will jump into action. Some service providers, including telecom operators, have tied their cables to the electricity poles without the permission from the civic body. They should have obtained no objection from the corporation for them as the hanging cables posed danger to the lives of people in many places. On the other hand, the civic body too has lost revenue as the service providers have drawn their lines free.
