Close-up view of telecommunication cables sagging onto the road, posing a potential traffic accident hazard.

Following Typhoon No. 10, many streets in Nghe An province have seen numerous telecommunication cables sagging or breaking onto the road surface, which have not yet been fully addressed. This not only detracts from the urban aesthetics but also poses a potential accident risk to pedestrians, especially at night.

According to the reporter's records on the morning of October 18, on many streets in Vinh City (old), there are still electric poles leaning after storm No. 10, causing the telecommunication cables connected on the poles to fall onto the road.

Similarly, at Kim Dong Street, telecommunication cables are tangled and unsightly on the poles. Photo: QA

On Le Hong Phong Street, the cables were not neatly collected after the storm, causing a loss of urban beauty. Mr. Nguyen Van Tinh, a resident living on this street, worried: "It's dark, many black cables, if you're not careful, it's easy to get tangled in them, there have been cases of people falling because the cables fell across the road."

For heavy-duty, tall trucks, getting entangled in cables on the roads is very likely to happen, possibly pulling down electric poles or breaking cables. Photo: QA

At the intersection of Tue Tinh and Nguyen Sy Sach streets, the cables were lying on the road after the storm and have not been collected yet. According to research, telecommunication cables are managed by many different units and network operators. Many cable lines have no clear owner, and when an incident occurs, it takes a long time to determine responsibility for handling it. Photo: QA

On Le Loi Street, the cable is only about half a meter from the sidewalk, blocking people's walkways. Photo: QA

On some roads, fearing accidents, people have tied bags to the sagging sections of cable to draw attention and prevent passersby from walking on them. Photo: QA

According to urban infrastructure experts, to completely resolve the problem of sagging cables, there needs to be a unified management mechanism. All cable routes must be reviewed and their owners must be clearly listed. Abandoned cables must be resolutely dismantled to avoid the existence of dangerous “ghost cables”. In addition, localities need to speed up the progress of undergrounding telecommunications infrastructure in inner-city areas. Photo: QA

Many cable sections were thrown away on the sidewalk of Nguyen Sy Sach Street and were not thoroughly collected. Photo: QA

On Nguyen Viet Xuan Street, people used bamboo poles to prop up cables that had been broken after the storm, helping traffic flow. However, this was only a temporary solution. Photo: QA

It is known that, immediately after the storm, network operators mobilized forces to fix, reconnect transmission lines, bundle and recover broken and sagging cables. However, with the above situation, units need to increase human resources to handle the situation thoroughly as soon as possible, to avoid unfortunate incidents. Photo: QA
