Hey there, folks! Today we’re diving into some local news about streetlights and safety in our city. So, back in 2017, the local self-governing bodies decided to hand over the maintenance of civic properties, like roads and streetlights, to the PMC. And guess what? The police department has identified around 250 dark spots across these areas that are just asking for accidents and crimes to happen.
But fear not, because PMC has been on top of things. They’ve already installed streetlights in popular spots like Bopdeo Ghat and Taljai Hill to keep things well-lit and safe. And get this – they’ve been replacing old streetlights with LEDs to brighten up neighborhoods and public places. An audit of streetlights was even done to prevent any mishaps or short circuits near those poles.
Not only is this move making our streets safer, but it’s also helping to save some cash. The switch to LEDs is cutting down on electricity costs, and with regular maintenance, the overall upkeep expenses are going down too. Right now, there are about 1.5 lakh streetlights shining bright in our civic areas.
But wait, there’s more! PMC has also been fixing up non-functional CCTV cameras in key areas like Tilak Road and Bajirao Road. They’re even encouraging shopkeepers to install cameras at their shops to boost surveillance. It’s all about keeping an eye out for each other and making our city a safer place to live.
So, next time you’re out and about, take a moment to appreciate those streetlights shining bright above you. They’re not just there to light up the night – they’re keeping us safe and sound. Stay safe, everyone!
