People suffer because of telecommunication cables 'strung' in front of their gates and fields

(Baonghean.vn) - Many people in Quynh Hong commune, Quynh Luu district (Nghe An) are upset because the telecommunication cable line has no poles and is close to the road, affecting travel and daily life.

Since the telecommunication cable line passed through his house, Mr. Hoang Chien (village 6, Quynh Hong commune) had to use a tree to prop it up so that it would not get in the way when he passed by. However, this situation has been making it very difficult for his family to travel.

“When the cable line was first brought here, I thought it would be temporarily put up and then raised up, but it has been over 2 years and there is still no sign of any repairs. I hope the authorities will soon raise the cable line up so it doesn’t hang low in front of my house anymore, it’s too dangerous,” Mr. Chien said indignantly.

Not only falling on the road or in front of people's houses, but for more than a year now, telecommunication cables have also collapsed into the fields in village 6, Quynh Hong commune.

Mr. Hoang Thuong - Head of Village 6 said: "After the land conversion, the spacious fields are favorable for production, but in recent crops, many households have encountered difficulties in cultivation due to cable lines hanging down to the fields. The village has made many requests but they have not come down to fix it."

It is known that for more than 3 years now, the telecommunication cable line through Quynh Hong commune has been invested to serve the internet and telephone needs of local people. However, the Quynh Luu District Telecommunications Center pulled the cable but did not install poles but instead connected it to the electricity poles of local people's houses.

Because the distance between these electric poles is long, when the cable line cannot be attached to houses or tall trees on the route, it hangs down about 1 meter above the ground, across the entrances of many houses.

On this route, in addition to the cable line, there are also many parallel telephone lines, which looks very confusing. Many people are upset and have reminded the center's staff many times when they come to collect the money, but there is no response, nor has there been any professional unit coming to check the telecommunications line system.

Mr. Ho Nghia Duong - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Hong Commune (Quynh Luu) said:The cable system is tangled and hanging down the road like this, posing many dangers to people, especially when the cable system is placed on the same route as household power lines. When the rainy season comes, the risk of fire and explosion is very high. We request that the authorities promptly handle the above situation to ensure the safety of the people.
