Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation’s LED street-lighting project, that had been in a state of limbo for several months, has made some progress.
The civic body has submitted a list of lights that are required in all 41 wards under its jurisdiction to the urban development and municipal affairs department.
The ball has got rolling after a review meeting was held among all councillors that was chaired by urban development and municipal affairs minister Firhad Hakim in the run up to the International Kolkata Book Fair held last month. According to sources present at the meeting, Hakim had pointed out that the state of roads and streetlights was poor in the township and that amends were to be made.
