The Public Works Department (PWD) of the Delhi Government will initiate the process of installing street lights at the identified dark spots across East Delhi and North Delhi Municipal corporation areas.
The PWD has received no objection certificate (NOC) from the North and East Municipal Corporations.
The illumination of dark spots will make the areas safer for the residents and will ensure women safety also.
A detailed survey was initiated by the PWD to identify the dark spots in these regions.
According to the Delhi Government, it was found that there are 124 dark spots in the East Delhi Municipal area and around 7,304 dark spots in the North Delhi Municipal area.
“The PWD will immediately commence work of lighting up these areas and will install around 82 poles in East Delhi and 3,686 poles in North Delhi regions. The Department also plans to install 124 lED lights in East Delhi and around 7304 lED lights in the North Delhi region to illuminate the dark spots,” the press statement said.
“The proposed drive to illuminate these regions will be initiated immediately and is expected to be completed within a span of 3-4 months in the East Delhi region and will be completed within 5-6 months in the North Delhi region. Installing lED lights in these regions will help in reducing the overall electricity consumption and also help generate substantial savings.PWD is yet to receive NOC from the South Delhi Municipal corporation,” it said.
