Due to the ongoing metro work, around 70 per cent of the street lights on the 17-km stretch of Bengaluru’s Outer Ring Road (ORR) from Silk Board Junction to K.R. Puram are not working, according to a survey conducted by Outer Ring Road Companies Association (ORRCA).
The main reasons behind the dysfunctional street lights are attributed to the metro work, skywalk work, cable cut due to road crossing, and other damages.
Speaking to indianexpress.com, Krishna Kumar Gowda, operations manager, ORRCA said “On Friday our traffic team did a survey of ORR streetlights between Silkboard to KR Puram and found only 30 per cent is working.”
