The Task force on spaghetti wires has started its clearing operation of abandoned telecom wires in Bacolod City, today, July 16.
A portion of San Juan Street, fronting Plaza mart, has been closed to traffic this morning as the team from various telecom providers begun their clearing operations.
According to the City Public Information Office the clearing will involve fixing of wires and removing of condemned wires from Cor. Gonzaga-San Juan up to Cor. Rosario-San Juan.
