| 24X7 illuminated street lights in Gandhi Nagar causing loss to PDD | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 1 : On the one hand J&K's Power Development Department (PDD) is battling hard to meet the increased demand for electricity and on the other many street lights in Gandhi Nagar area have continued to dazzle round the clock for three months. In contrast to this mindless wastage, streets in certain area in the city are not illuminated even at night. One can find many street lights on Green Belt Park area, Gandhi Nagar Hospital road, Apsra road and parts of Shastri Nagar illuminated during the day. "I always see a street light on opposite Shaurya Motors during the day.
I tried to switch it off but could not find any switch around," said Rakesh Pant, a resident of Salehar who daily comes to Jammu for his business purpose. Jammu Municipal Corporation authorities said the power distributor should ensure that these lights remain off during day time.
"It is the duty of PDD and moral responsibility of the citizens to switch on and off the lights.
It should ensure that lights are switched off during the daytime. Only the infrastructure is given by the municipal corporation ," said Kiren Wattal, Commissioner JMC. However, repeated attempt to contact Xen went in vain. |
