The Ministry of Public Utilities and Aviation is set to issue a public notice requiring telecommunications and utility service providers to clear hanging wire bundles from poles across Guyana within six weeks. The notice follows the ministry’s directive referenced in reporting by both outlets.
The instruction is reported to have been raised during the Model Village Initiative consultation held at Rose Hall in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne). Both sources describe the same timeframe and scope, indicating the ministry plans to apply the requirement nationwide rather than to a single locality.
While both articles focus on the six-week removal deadline and the need to address wire bundles on poles, they do not provide differing details on enforcement, penalties, or the specific safety or technical rationale. No additional figures, target locations, or timelines for issuing the notice are included in either report beyond the ministry’s stated plan to post the public directive.
