The main commissioner of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) M. Maleshwar Rao ordered officials to remove unauthorized optical fiber cables (OFC). During the inspection of the 2.5 km section of the road from the overpass Gutahalli to the Kantonment railway station Mr. Rao observed that OFC was freely hanging over pedestrians and ordered immediate removal.
He said that, despite providing cables for lay cables underground in the offer for select and white roads, some providers of services laid cables along roads, sidewalks, electric poles and even on trees, causing inconvenience to the public. He ordered officials that strict steps should be taken against any unauthorized OFC, where the pipeline is already available.
Use free land owned by BBMP
Mr. Rao also ordered officials to use free land owned by BBMP for public use. He said that BBMP is currently identifying the designated zones for street sellers and ordered that a suitable BBMP owned land should be earmarked for this purpose.
Purity
Mr. Rao also ordered officials to ensure cleanliness around the transformers and say that the fencing should be installed around the transformers. He also ordered officials to remove the posters of the walls that were unauthorized.
He also visited Indira Canteen on Miller’s Road, where he had breakfast.
