MCDC plans to replace overhead fibre cables with underground ones in Mandalay

The Mandalay City Development Committee (MCDC) has announced plans to replace the overhead fibre cables running along Mandalay’s main streets with underground fibre cables.
The project will initially focus on the main streets of Mandalay, including 78th, 73rd, 66th, 62nd, 27th, 30th, and 35th streets. These overhead cables will be replaced with underground ones as part of a pilot project.
The current overhead fibre cables do not meet the city’s standards as they are low, disorganized, and visually unappealing.
Companies and departmental organizations utilizing fibre cables on the main streets are required to provide details such as cable type, number of fibre cores, installation starting and ending points, and distribution of fibre core usage to the Road and Bridge Department of MCDC by 26 March.
It has been emphasized that any fibre cables not included in the transition to underground cables will be considered illegal and subject to removal. — TWA/TRKM
