SaralnamaOver 100 tangled wires of telecom, electricity, and cable TV companies in Mandi city, Himachal Pradesh, are not only spoiling its beauty but also posing a risk to people's lives. These disorganized wires hanging from electric poles in all wards of the municipal corporation create a fire hazard due to short circuits. They also provide an easy path for monkeys, worsening the problem. Despite several accidents, responsible departments have turned a blind eye. The mayor, Virendra Bhatt Sharma, recently inspected the issue and met with electricity department officials. He assured that a plan to lay underground wires in some areas would be implemented soon to maintain the city's beauty and remove the web of wires. (Updated 23 Oct 2025, 22:20 IST; source: link)
