The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has received a staggering 4.8 lakh complaints related to streetlights over the past five years, according to official data. The complaints range from faulty streetlights to non-functional ones, posing a significant challenge for the civic body. With the increasing urban population and expanding city limits, ensuring well-lit streets is crucial for the safety and security of residents. The data highlights the need for the AMC to prioritize maintenance and repair of streetlights to address the concerns raised by citizens. Regular maintenance schedules and prompt resolution of complaints are essential to ensure that the city’s streets are well-lit and safe for all. The AMC’s response to these complaints will be closely monitored by residents and authorities to gauge the effectiveness of their efforts in improving streetlight infrastructure. As cities across India grapple with similar challenges related to urban infrastructure, the AMC’s approach to addressing streetlight complaints can serve as a model for other municipal bodies. By investing in efficient maintenance systems and leveraging technology for timely repairs, the AMC can enhance the overall quality of life for residents in Ahmedabad. Prioritizing streetlight infrastructure is not just about illumination, but also about ensuring public safety and enhancing the city’s overall appeal.
