Cables on a TenderSURE road in Bengaluru. Road towards Commissariat Road and you are treated to the sight of cables hanging from decades-old trees, a jarring note on an otherwise well-maintained stretch. TenderSURE roads were touted as model roads with ducts for cables to eliminate the visual pollution from ungainly cables. But heaps of cables are strung over trees and electricity poles on many of the roads in the Central Business District, such as Richmond Road, Residency Road, M.G. Residents can see unsightly cables coiled around trees which are more than 40 years old in several parts of the city.
