CESC chief sets Oct 5 deadline for Mysuru UG cable works
Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) Chairman Rameshbabu Bandisiddegowda has ordered agencies to finish underground (UG) cable installation in Mysuru by 5 October. Chairing a review meeting on Tuesday (29 September), he instructed officials to ensure 100% restoration of all work sites within the deadline.
Bandisiddegowda expressed displeasure over roads and footpaths left dug up, and directed officials to close all pits, clear debris, and install barricades and signboards for public safety. He also ordered removal of UG cable materials from footpaths and public spaces ahead of the Dasara festivities to keep the city clean and pedestrian-friendly.
He warned of strict action against those responsible if works remain incomplete. A follow-up review meeting is scheduled for 6 October to assess progress.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 5 October deadline puts CESC agencies on a tight timeline to restore roads and footpaths before Dasara, when Mysuru sees a surge in visitors. Bandisiddegowda's threat of action if work is not done by 6 October signals that the corporation is under pressure to present a clean city during the festival. Coordination among agencies doing white-topping, drainage, and cable work remains the unresolved challenge, as delays in one could affect the others.
