In the absence of any checks, the Municipal Corporation’s streetlights are disappearing continuously from the Southern Bypass Road in Ludhiana, raising many eyebrows. The MC has now written to Dugri police to register an FIR against unidentified miscreants regarding the theft of LED streetlight bulbs from the area. MC officials claimed that the theft took place during night hours.
Officials from the civic body said that the recent incident occurred on the night of October 5 and 6, near the CRPF colony/flats on the Southern Bypass Road. An MC official explained that unidentified miscreants unscrewed 17 streetlight poles and stole 34 LED streetlight bulbs (120 watt) from the area.
