Following up on an earlier meeting, Dehradun Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Arun Mohan Joshi sent a letter to the Superintending Engineer of Power Distribution Division, Kaulagarh, asking for the details of those institutions and cable operators which are using power poles, so that those who are using these poles illegally can be marked.
It is pertinent to mention here that SSP Joshi conducted a meeting with cable TV operators, internet service providers and other agencies on October 21. During the meeting, officials of the power department claimed that cable operators are using power poles without any prior permission from the department, because of which it has become difficult to be certain about the legal and illegal consumers. They expressed their concern stating that this can lead to some major illegal activity.
