MC seizes illegal poles installed by telecom firm

Staff of the Municipal Corporation’s estate wing removed five poles, installed illegally by a telecom firm in the city, on Friday evening. During the removal process, employees of the firm reportedly had arguments with the MC officials. According to civic body staff, the poles belong to Reliance Jio.
Officials of the estate wing of the civic body said they spotted the firm violating rules once again by installing its poles at Kabir Park and Chheharta. A team, led by Estate Inspector Kewal Krishan, reached late evening hours to remove the poles. The employees of the firm allegedly misbehaved with them and also “threatened” them of consequences.

Meanwhile, Estate Officer Sushant Bhatia reached the spot and called the station house officer of Chheharta. Later, the MC team removed and seized five poles in the presence of cops.
