Half a dozen of internet, and cable service providers face action

Kathmandu: Birgunj Metropolitan City has taken action against half a dozen of internet and cable service providers.

The Metropolis took action against six internet and cable service providers after they turned deaf ears to the frequent requests of Metropolis for wire management.

Chief Administrative Officer of Metropolitan City Laxmi Prasad Poudel shared that they were compelled to take legal action after the service providers neglected Metropolis’s request to manage wires.

The Metropolitan City has been carrying out activities to manage wires. The Metropolitan City has fined Rs. 2,500 to internet and cable service providers—World Link, Vianet, Classic Tech, Subisu, and Dish Home each.

The Metropolitan City had urged the internet and cable service providers to remove their wires as risk has been posed due to unmanaged wires lying on the road at different places including District Police Office and Om Ashram following a fire incident that occurred a few days ago.

Brijesh Pradhan of the Information Technology Section of Birgunj Metropolitan City said stern action would be taken against such internet and cable service providers found hanging wires without permission of Metropolis.
