In the backdrop of the suggestion of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi to replace streetlights with lED lights in all municipalities in the country, Haryana Government has prepared an action plan to install lED lights in the state.
In the first phase, streetlights in six districts would be
replaced with lED lights. Apart from this, lED streetlights would also be installed in areas under Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA).
The issue was discussed at the meeting of administrative secretaries of all departments held under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary DS Dhesi, to review various schemes, on Friday.
The Chief Secretary directed the officers to get the remaining amount of first instalment of funds under centrally-sponsored schemes.
Dhesi also asked the officers to list the funds being received for centrally-sponsored schemes for the financial year 2017-18 according to budget head, and send utilisation certificate
for optimum utilisation of funds to the Central Government, so that funds could be adjusted at the earliest.
