The undergrounding of power cables in Haridwar was discussed in a meeting of electricity department officials and the members of the Haridwar Vyapar Mandal here on Wednesday. Work on the undergrounding of cables has been undertaken in various parts of the city and is now about to be started at the Har ki Paidi and surrounding area.
City president of the Vyapar Mandal, Sanjeev Nayyar said that the meeting was held with the officials in view of the thousands of people who arrive in the area daily.
He said that the market area in the locality is small, so if the ground is dug up and left as in the other areas, it would create major inconvenience.
