MC Chandigarh removes ropes and obstructions from street light poles to ensure public safety
*Chandigarh, July 8:-* The Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has conducted a safety drive across various parts of the city, particularly in colony areas, to remove ropes tied by residents to street light poles for drying clothes. These ropes posed significant safety risks due to their proximity to live electrical infrastructure.
The MCC team not only removed the ropes but also educated residents about the dangers of using electric poles for such purposes. A similar operation was carried out in the EWS Colonies and other surrounding areas. During the drive, cycles, rehri carts, and other personal items found chain-locked to street light poles were also cleared, as they created obstructions and safety hazards.
Municipal Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS urged all citizens to cooperate with the Municipal Corporation and refrain from using public infrastructure for personal use. He emphasized the importance of following safety advisories and guidelines to prevent accidents and maintain the city’s infrastructure.
