Abandoned black cable coils on the streets of Haydarabad, corners and sidewalks, wide tape hanging by the electrical department, and a crazy driver of a crazy driver to remove cable TV cables. What started as a security measure after a series of fatal electricalism has now become a scattered struggle between the authorities and cable operators, and there was no clear plan of what to do with the piles of the thrown wires.
The lifting driving is followed by a series of tragedy that claims that there are nine lives a week throughout the city.
During the Krishna Janastami regiment in Ranthapur, five people were killed while two of them carried a Ganesh idol in Bandlaguda, one of them building a pandal in Amberpet and one took wedding decorations in a residence in Lothukunta.
Authorities say that many of them have intervened in live energy lines of dangerously low -low -low -low -tense tense wires, which are not developed under 15 feet, and have turned into potential death traps.
However, as the cut intensifies, a new difficulty emerged.
Subba Rao Karreddula, a department engineer of the operations in Habsiguda, said, iz We collect all the wires removed, but there is no provision for disposal right now. We expect more instructions. ”
For now, cables are drawn and in the transformer centers and department offices, eight of them are only in Hebsiguda, assistant engineers protect them by judicial zones.
Operation and Maintenance Engineer Venugopal Amarvaj admitted that there was no standard protocol.
“As of now, these are gathering by our staff. It can be given back to the relevant cable operators, but nothing has been concluded,” he said.
However, the conflict is disposed of.
According to the authorities, the cable operators quickly reconnect their lines after cutting.
An Officer, who defines the work both repeatedly and controversially, said, ında From the building to the building, the roads and even over the overpasses. We have to chop them again, which makes all exercise inefficient. They argue with us.
In the middle of the Ganesh Chaturthi festivals, among the regiments wandering the pandals and wandering through the narrow streets, the authorities say that the biggest priority is to clean the routes and the passage of dangling cables to prevent further accidents.
Ranthapore Engineer (Operations) Lavanya Kuthadi, his team showed special attention to these extensions, he said.
“We do not have a standard procedure to follow. This is the first time such a large -scale lifting was tried. Extremely boring and operators are ruthless. When we remove the cables, they re -tie them.
Meanwhile, a technician with a leading internet service provider (ISS), said that chopped cables are used very little. “They do not contain recyclable copper or materials, plastic cannot be buried and the only way to throw is to burn,” he explained.
The authority added that war traction with the authorities forcibly left customers.
“We are reinstalling the cables, they cut them again. This is the reason why internet services in many parts of Haydarabad are broken, and people are upset.”
Bir Haydarabad Police Officer, the pile wires of any citizen complaint to evaluate the risks of traffic and safety risks will take action with field visits, he said.
For the time being, the view of the packed cables poured along the roads of the road is talking about the uncertainty of all exercise: urgently a necessary safety measure, but it slowed down with the lack of resistance, lack of clarity and the lack of a plan for the next step.
