Streetlights across the city remain dysfunctional

Pindiites are angry over damaged streetlights that have been out of order for a long time now. Several localities plunge into darkness as night falls. Movement on the city roads during the night has become risky, as a large number of streetlights lie inoperative.
“Thousands of streetlights installed in the city over the last few decades, but a small portion of them is working. With so many streetlights out of order, parts of the city are plunged into darkness soon after sunset. The concerned department is eschewing its responsibility to replacing or repairing faulty streetlights,” says Esa Naqvi.
