‘Ensure proper street lighting’

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and the civic bodies to ensure proper street lighting in the city on a plea alleging that the LED lights on public roads and streets of south Delhi were not functioning. A High Court Bench disposed of the petition after the SDMC informed it that according to a joint inspection by the civic bodies, the Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), the manufacturer of the lights, the BSES and the petitioners, 97% of the street lights were functioning.
