The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) received a staggering 4.8 lakh complaints regarding streetlights over the span of 5 years, according to recent reports. These complaints highlight a significant issue with the city’s streetlight infrastructure, impacting the safety and security of residents. The data, sourced from official records, underscores the urgent need for improved maintenance and monitoring of streetlights in Ahmedabad. Streetlights play a crucial role in ensuring public safety, particularly during the night, and any lapses in their functioning can have serious consequences. The high number of complaints also indicates a lack of proactive measures to address maintenance issues promptly. As a result, residents are left in the dark, figuratively and literally, when it comes to reliable street lighting. The AMC must prioritize addressing these complaints and implementing a robust system for monitoring and maintaining streetlights across the city. Failure to do so not only compromises public safety but also reflects poorly on the city’s overall infrastructure. By investing in efficient streetlight management, the AMC can enhance the quality of life for residents and improve the city’s overall appeal. It is imperative that authorities take swift action to rectify this issue and ensure that streetlights are functioning optimally to meet the needs of the growing population in Ahmedabad.
