Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asked Mayors of all cities across the country to ensure that LED bulbs are used widely in the streetlights and homes of their cities and take-up this work in “mission mode” and make cities “divyang-friendly”.
Addressing the All India Mayors’ Conference through video conferencing, the Prime Minister referred to the recent developments in the ancient city of Varanasi and recalled his statement that the development of Kashi can be a roadmap for the entire country.
The Prime Minister said most of the cities in our country are traditional cities, developed in a traditional way. In this era of modernisation, the antiquity of these cities is equally important.
