1 Lakh Sensor Lights to Tackle Dark Spots
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday announced the installation of 1 lakh sensor lights in the national capital to fix "dark spots", further enhancing the security measures. The Chief Minister emphasised that in response to the complaints regarding malfunctioning lights, measures have been implemented to manage the faulty signals through the control room. These measures aim to address the issues promptly and without the need for human intervention.
In an X post, Delhi Chief Minister stated, "Dark Spots. Even with lights installed on every street, there are still many such corners that remain in darkness, where the lights are faulty. This only comes to light when someone complains about it. That's why the Delhi government is converting all these lights into sensor-based LED lights. In other words, 1 lakh lights in Delhi will be converted to this type of light, which will be connected to a control and command center."
"If even one light fails, a signal will immediately be received in that control room, and it will be fixed right away. Any dark spot will be managed instantly," the Chief Minister added.
