The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has received a staggering 4.8 lakh complaints regarding streetlights over the span of 5 years, according to a recent report. The data, which sheds light on the persistent issue of streetlight maintenance in the city, highlights the need for improved infrastructure and efficient complaint resolution mechanisms. With nearly a million complaints registered, it is evident that the streetlight situation in Ahmedabad requires urgent attention and action from the authorities. The high number of complaints not only points to a lack of proper maintenance but also raises concerns about the safety and security of residents, especially during the night. Addressing this issue should be a top priority for the municipal corporation to ensure the well-being and comfort of the citizens. As urban areas in India continue to expand rapidly, the importance of reliable street lighting cannot be overstated. Properly illuminated streets not only enhance the aesthetics of a city but also play a crucial role in enhancing safety and security. By addressing the concerns raised by the significant number of complaints, the AMC can demonstrate its commitment to improving the quality of life for residents. It is imperative that the authorities take proactive measures to address the maintenance issues and streamline the complaint redressal process to ensure that the city’s streets are well-lit and safe for all.
