Knotting the cables to electricity poles unauthorisely / improperly, not only is violating Indian Electricity Rules, but also compromising on safety and the danger to life on account of the haphazard pulling of wires over electric poles. The cable TV wires/cables are also being tied on the electricity poles causing hindrance to the staff in carrying out the work on electric poles. Moreover, any accident can occur to the cable TV operators who are not authorized to climb the electric poles.
