Streetlights at over 900 points in Ludhiana missing: Survey

Streetlights at over 900 of the total 1.3 lakh points in the city are missing, a survey by Tata company, the firm entrusted with task, has found.

The finding comes amid the municipal corporation’s claims that the firm had installed fewer streetlights than what was mentioned in the contract.

The firm submitted its report to mayor Balkar Sandhu’s office on Thursday.

The report is based on joint inspections conducted by MC and the company officials in 93 wards of the city. The survey is still pending in two wards including, ward number 67, which is represented by councillor Mamta Ashu and ward number 94, represented by Gurpreet Singh. The mayor stated that he is waiting for the MC officials’ report to cross-check the data.
