We find this with multiple network providers, they have created a mess of cables and wires in every locality. Road and footpaths are dug up for laying of cables. When there are more than one power distribution companies operating in one area then how it would be ensured that cabling mess is not created there. When policy is made, solution for this menace has to be envisaged.
