The Public Works Department (PWD) has decided to install missing lights on street poles and replace sodium lights with LED smart lights on the Outer Ring Road bypass from IG Stadium to Geeta Colony Bridge.
This comes days after a series of reports by The Indian Express on dark spots in the national capital – the stretch in question is among those highlighted during our reporting.
During a spot check at night, it was found that 26 lights were non-functional from Sachiwalay Road to Rajghat Depot near Outer Ring Road bypass. On the Outer Ring Road bypass, while lights on the central verge were working, those on either side of the road were not.
