KMC orders concerned bodies to remove unorganized cables within 15 days
The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) Office has given a 15-day deadline to the concerned bodies to remove electric, telephone and internet wires placed haphazardly along the streets. Issuing a press statement today, the local government said unorganized cables have their implications on the beauty of the town, causing obstructions in public movement and creating a risk for a fire. If the order was not implemented on time, the local government said it would remove them on its own. The KMC said that it is sensitive towards the possible risks from the unorganized cables and have already sat for talks with providers of electricity, telephone, internet and cable services at different times with the call to remove devices, but the problem remains as it is.
