Assistant commissioner Dhananjay Jadhav told TOI that the civic body had received several complaints from citizens about the damaged chamber. However, no action followed, prompting the administration to issue a notice,” Jadhav said. “If the company doesn’t repair the chamber, we will get it done, recover the cost and also impose penalty,” Jadhav said.
The notice warned that any accident resulting in loss of life or property would invite action against the company, and directed it to repair the chamber immediately. The chamber has broken concrete covers and an exposed section along its edge, with debris and dry branches inside. Parts of the chamber appear uneven and displaced, leaving an opening along the side that could pose a hazard to pedestrians and motorists. “A junior engineer from the zone contacted the telecom company’s staff, who assured the civic body that repairs would be carried out. The notice also makes it clear that the NMC may initiate further action if the telecom operator fails to address the problem. Download the TOI App.
