Implementing the beautification and development plan for 2014 and to improve lighting in public space, the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) has decided to erect about 180 street light poles in the State capital.
Mukhya Nagar Adhikari at MCD, Ashok Kumar said that the tender for proposed work of putting up these poles in the town would be completed soon and thereafter the construction work would be initiated. He said that the plan for the installation of these street light poles in the city was made last year and now it would be implemented effectively in the State capital by the MCD. This work will be executed in two stages. In the first stage the poles would be installed in areas between Rispana and Kargi, while in the second stage the poles would be erected between Rispana and Shastrinagar, added Kumar.
An official of MCD informed that out of total 180 poles to be installed in Dehradun, around 136 poles would be put up in the first stage and 44 poles would be put up in the second stage. The officials concerned have already been instructed regarding this task which will be initiated once the tender is passed, said the official.
