Solution to non-functional street lights a call away
Residents of sectors 9, 9A, 10, 10A are grumbling over street lights not working adjacent to Mini Sea Shore along the Father Agnel Sports Complex sector -10 A for the past two months. This is the area where children, youngsters, senior citizens come for walks and recreation. Every evening the area is fully crowded as children visit the sports complex to practise games.
A security personnel at the sports complex says, "The street lights have not been working for the past two months. Various complaints have been launched by authorities but in vain. I have to keep watch over pedestrians and motorists passing this way so that no accident occurs." He adds that more than fifty students visit the sports complex daily. "I have to also keep watch over them as they are my responsibility".
A mother accompanying her children says, "As there are no street lights in the area, I have to come regularly with my children. I sit in the sports complex till they are done with practice. We have to take the trouble because of authorities' negligence."
Area resident Shreya Jadhav says, "In this area people go jogging and walking through the entire lane. My grandmother gets up early and goes for walk around 5.00 am, but since the street lights are not working, she is unable to go out. Many others will be suffering like her".
G V Rao NMMC Executive Engineer, Electrical Department, claims ignorance of the problem. "I am unaware of non-functional street lights but they will be restored in a day". .
