Urban Development Minister of Delhi Saurabh Bharadwaj has approved the installation of an additional 70,000 street lights in the city, news agency PTI reported. This approval is in addition to the 2.1 lakh street lights that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government had earlier planned to install in Delhi. The decision was made under the Mukhyamantri Street Light Yojana, a scheme launched in 2019 by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to improve the safety of Delhi’s citizens by installing more street lights in different areas of the city.
