Jamshedpur: JREDA to light up Golmuri with 1,650 solar LEDs

1 Less than a minute

The cable town area in Golmuri, which was reeling in darkness for the past 20 years, is set to light up soon as the Jharkhand Renewable Energy Development Agency (JREDA) entered into pact with Jamshedpur East MLA Saryu Rai’s office to install 1,653 solar LED lights at every nook and corner in the area.

Notably, since the closure of the cable company, the entire cable town area is experiencing shortage of drinking water and lack of street lights. The drive to illuminate the areas commenced on Wednesday with the formal launch of the programme.

JREDA will bear the subsidy part while the remaining cost of the installation scheme will be incurred by the MLA, under Local Area Development (LAD) scheme, as per the agreement reached between the two parties. The total cost of the project is Rs 2.10 crore. The MLA has contributed Rs 85 lakh from MLA LAD funds.
