According to a PWD official, the drive was centred on the stretch between Muruga theatre and Gorimedu that joins the Tindivanam highway. The cables had been snapped by private operators and left in a heap on the medians on the route causing a safety risk to motorists.
An estimated 200 kg of dumped cables was removed from the stretch.
According to the official, the drive was launched on the basis of a directive from Chief Minister N. Rangasamy who noticed the problem while travelling by that route recently.
