Delhi govt to install over 90,000 smart street lights, PWD to maintain it

The Delhi government will install more than 90,000 smart street lights on all roads maintained by the Public Works Department (PWD) in order to eliminate dark spots and bolster women’s security.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal granted in-principle approval to the smart street light policy on Tuesday.

To ensure uninterrupted functioning of the lights, he stressed on having a robust central monitoring system. In the event of any fault in street lights, the control room will be promptly alerted, triggering immediate replacement measures, according to a statement from the chief minister’s office.
