The BMC removed exposed cables at the Dahisar Anand Nagar flyover within hours of mid-day’s report on the potential safety threat yesterday. While officials claim these are not electricity supply cables, they were situated near an electrical box and caused a scare among motorists.
“We immediately alerted the concerned authority and ensured that all cables were removed,” said Nainish Vengurlekar, assistant municipal commissioner, R North ward.
Sources claim the cables are not electric supply wires and were kept there during road repair works. “Still, they posed a potential risk to motorists as they were hanging at a spot two-wheelers make U-turns. They have been hanging there for two to three months. After mid-day’s report, action was taken immediately,” said local resident Rajesh Pandya.
