Telecom Companies' Ugly Trail In Pune: PMC Under Fire For Allowing Haphazard Wiring
Pune, Maharashtra – The city’s scenic landscape is being marred by the unsightly presence of telecom wires hanging precariously from trees, sparking outrage among residents and environmentalists. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has come under fire for allegedly allowing telecom companies to adopt this haphazard approach, prioritizing profits over aesthetics and safety.
Despite raking in substantial profits, telecom companies have opted to hang wires on trees, rather than investing in underground cabling. This not only creates an eyesore but also poses a significant threat to the environment and public safety. The dangling wires can be a hazard for pedestrians, vehicles, and wildlife, while also damaging the trees themselves.
PMC’s lax attitude towards regulating telecom companies has raised suspicions of corrupt practices. Residents are questioning why the civic body is not enforcing stricter guidelines to ensure that telecom infrastructure is installed in a responsible and sustainable manner.
“The PMC’s inaction is shocking, especially when you consider the harm caused by these unsightly wires,” said a concerned citizen. “It’s high time the corporation takes a firm stance against such practices and ensures that telecom companies adopt environmentally friendly and safe installation methods.”
As the city’s residents demand action, the PMC must take responsibility for enforcing stricter regulations and ensuring that telecom companies prioritize the city’s aesthetic appeal and environmental well-being.
