The lanes and roads in many parts of the island city have gone dark as streetlights are not functioning. Mumbaikars from different parts of Central and Southern Mumbai have raised this issue on social media and complained to Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking about the same.
According to sources in the BEST, there is at least 2-3 per cent out of the total 40000-odd streetlight poles coming under the jurisdiction of the Undertaking. This comes to around 800-1200 such poles that aren’t functioning. In fact on social media like Twitter, a campaign called #BattiGul is also seen where people are posting pictures of streetlights that are not functioning along with the locations.
