KOLKATA: The mammoth task of decluttering lamp posts in the city by removing defunct optic fibre cables that have turned much of the city’s skyline into an eyesore got underway in earnest with eight teams comprising a dozen people hitting the road from Tuesday morning.
Two more teams will join the initiative in a couple of days to clear out 10 stretches in the first phase of the drive. Two other stretches have been identified for the second phase that is expected to begin some time next month.
