| Admin installs streetlights upside down; Roads suffer darkness as ‘aliens get light’ | | Ulta Pulta! | |  Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 5: In a shocking incident of administrative failure, streetlights are being installed upside down in Jammu and Kashmir, exposing the lack of accountability in the Power development department, in particular, which is executing the multi-crore project in Srinagar and Jammu cities. In one such recent incident, the freshly installed streetlights were found upside down in Rainawari area of old Srinagar.
The residents were shocked to see that the lights were installed upside down thereby “adding to the darkness on the streets to light up the aliens.”
The videos and images of the “ulta pulta” streetlights went viral on the social media with people asking “if the PDD and SMC were offering services to aliens and not to the residents of Jammu and Kashmir.”
“Are our babus working for the cause of aliens that they forgot that lights are essentially meant for humans living on planet earth and not for the skies?” asked the social media activists. Official sources said the streetlights were being installed by the Power Development Department through the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited in alliance with the Srinagar Municipal Corporation.
Sources said there was so much of lack of accountability in the installation of streetlights that the concerned officials didn’t even bother to check if the lights had been installed in proper direction.
Sources said as the “stupidity” on the part of the administration went viral, some officials of the PDD working in Rainawari area in an overnight operation changed the directions of the lights.
A senior official told the Early Times on the condition of anonymity that the “installation of streets in Jammu and Srinagar cities was headed to be a major scam.”
“Unless Modi government orders a probe into the irregularities, the people will continue to suffer and the joke of streetlights for the aliens instead of citizens will be a reality soon,” said a senior official on the condition of anonymity.
When contacted, a senior official in PDD said the installation of streetlights was “a small issue and that the same has been corrected.” |
