BHOPAL: Tussle among Capital Project Authority (CPA), Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board (MPEB) and Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) has left lakhs of people in dark as street lights on all the roads leading to one of premier medical institutes- All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhopal-are not functioning for years.
Local agencies like BMC, MPEB, CPA only pass on buck . It is highly pitiable that no one paid attention to this problem which happens to be a major instrumental behind road accidents. Especially, on the road leading to Barkheda Pathani from AIIMS, the situation is pathetic.
“It was not in my knowledge but now I will look into the matter and inquire why street lights on roads leading to AIIMS are not functioning. I will talk to the authorities concerned in this matter.”

CPA so far has not taken power connection from discom and because of this no street lights are functioning. It’s nothing but the lackadaisical approach on part of CPA administration. We are ready to give electricity connection within a second when asked for.”
