There is a lack of street lights on the main road leading to Gulistan-e-Johar. I like to apprise that our area is inhabited by more than 2000 flats on both the sides of the road. The electricity board has installed poles on either side of the road to supply light to the residents, but these are just poles, not the electricity.
There is apprehension of some major accident taking place because the traffic passes through this road mostly after 7 pm. The necessity of electrification requires no emphasis. In addition to accidents, cases of thefts and robbery can also not be denied. Darkness may lead to any kind of mishap. It may also be stated that many residents reach their homes even after late hours in the night.
The residents pay house tax to the municipality regularly but the facility of street lights is denied to them. The matter has been taken to the authorities time and again, every time mere assurances were given but the problem persists as it is. The authorities concerned must wake up from slumber and solve the problem.
