Minister for Urban Development Byrathi Basavaraj on Friday said a total of 60,000 LED streetlights had been installed in the city as part of the State Government’s project to replace all the conventional streetlights with energy-efficient LED lights.
Speaking to reporters after holding a review meeting with officials of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) in the City on Friday, he said MCC Commissioner Lakshmikant Reddy had informed him that the remaining 10,000 to 15,000 LED lights will also be installed in about two-three months.
It may be mentioned here that the MCC, about a year ago, had begun replacing all the conventional streetlights including tubelights, metal halides and sodium vapour lamps with Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights as part of the State Government’s project. Apart from completing replacement of street lights with LED lights, several major roads will also get a facelift by the time Dasara festivities start this year, he said.
