A total of 1,164 lights will be installed in the first phase. An amount of Rs 3.24 crore will be spent for installation of electric poles along with relevant accessories. Similarly, remaining 1,336 lights will be replaced in places where old lights are defunct for which Rs 2.34 crore will be utilised.
In total 18,500 street lights will be installed in all the 42 wards of BeMC. It is learnt that 45 percent of the expenditure will be borne from Odisha Urban Infrastructure Development Fund, whereas a matching grant of another 45 percent will be met from loan.
