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 ranged from non-functional streetlights to inadequate lighting in various parts of the city. The information was revealed by the authorities in response to a Right to Information (RTI) query. The data highlights the significance of adequate street lighting in ensuring public safety and security, especially in urban areas. Proper street lighting not only helps in preventing crimes but also plays a crucial role in reducing accidents and making public spaces more accessible at night. The high number of complaints underscores the need for the authorities to prioritize the maintenance and upkeep of streetlights across Ahmedabad. Residents and commuters rely heavily on well-lit streets for their daily activities, and any negligence in this regard can have serious repercussions. AMC officials have assured that they are taking steps to address the complaints and improve the overall condition of streetlights in the city. It is essential for the civic body to proactively monitor and maintain the street lighting infrastructure to ensure the well-being of the citizens. As urban areas continue to expand and evolve, adequate street lighting will remain a critical aspect of city planning and management.
