🧠 Problem Title: Low-Hanging and Unorganized Overhead Cables Creating Safety Hazards in Urban Areas
📝 Problem Description

In many urban and semi-urban areas, electric and internet cables are installed overhead along streets and between buildings. It is often observed that these cables are loosely arranged, tangled, or hanging at low heights., In some locations, cables may sag over roads, footpaths, or near residential buildings without proper support or insulation. This can create risks for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. During rain or storms, the situation may become more concerning due to water exposure and possible damage to cables., I have observed areas where multiple wires are bundled together in an unorganized manner, and some cables hang lower than expected. Such conditions can lead to accidental contact, obstruction, or other safety concerns., This problem highlights the gap between rapid infrastructure expansion and proper cable management. Organized and well-maintained wiring systems are important for ensuring safety and reducing hazards in public spaces
