YGN to press ahead with underground cable conversion
A coordination meeting on the continued
removal of internet and telecommunications cables attached to Yangon Electricity
Supply Corporation (YESC) utility poles was held on 11 August as part of efforts
to improve electrical safety across Yangon Region.
According to officials, the clearance of

gradually converted to an underground system.
At the meeting, Yangon Region Minister

necessary measures among relevant departments and internet service providers
(ISPs) to continue cable-clearance work along Laydauntkan Road, Parami Road and
Waizayanta Road. The discussions focused on ensuring the safety of power lines
and the proper securing of telecommunications cables. — TWA/ KNN
