Kochi Corporation to launch drive to remove low-hanging overhead cables

Kochi Municipal Corporation announced a citywide initiative to dismantle low‑hanging overhead power and telecom lines that obstruct traffic and pose safety risks. The program will identify cable owners, who will be billed for removal expenses. Officials say the effort aims to improve road safety, reduce accidents, and enhance the urban landscape. The work is expected to start next month, financed by the owners' fees.
