The civic body has finally decided to take a flexible approach in laying ducts and utility wires, to expedite the concretisation of the city roads, officials told mid-day on Tuesday. mid-day reported in May that top civic babus were firm on laying all the utility wires through the ducts and then constructing the cement concrete roads, which had delayed the road construction work.

However, as per the new plan, the BMC will pass as many wires as possible through the cable duct while concretising the roads. For the remaining cables that stay directly underneath the road, the providers will be asked to send the lines through the duct whenever a problem arises.
