A submarine cable collapsed in Ras Beirut amid strict security and civil defense measures

Members of the General Directorate of Civil Defense accompanied the work of laying the “Cadmus 2” submarine cable in the Ras Beirut area, as part of a plan of measures aimed at ensuring public safety and protecting workers during the implementation of the project, which is supervised by the “Ogero” organization as part of efforts to develop the infrastructure of the telecommunications sector in Lebanon.

The specialized teams in the Civil Defense secured the surroundings of the workshop, while keeping their personnel ready to intervene immediately when needed, to ensure the safety of the technical and working crews and to keep pace with the progress of work without obstacles.

This step comes in the context of periodic preventive measures implemented by the General Directorate of Civil Defense to keep pace with vital and engineering projects that require special procedures for public safety.
