Acting on a tip-off, BEST vigilance officers, along with Shivaji Park police and BMC ‘G’ North ward officers, conducted a joint operation to dismantle the unauthorised connections.
The unauthorised hawkers have been tapping electricity from street poles and electricity supply boxes under the bridge. Somebody has been quoted in the report as saying hawkers have been illegally tapping electricity for years. They use it to power their shops under the bridge.
