20k street lights to be installed across city

The Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) has sent a requisition to the State Government for installation of 20,000 new street lights across the city.

Deputy Mayor Sanjiv Vijayavargiya informed that while 45,000 street lights have already been installed in the city by ESL but there are still a number of places which need more street lights.

“While poles are installed on a regular basis, the latest survey conducted around three months ago showed that there are at least 20,000 newly installed poles which have still not been fitted with street lights. We have sent a requisition to the State Government to get the street lights installed at these areas by EESL,” he said.
