No More Dark Streets in Bengaluru! Govt Sets Strict October 31 Deadline to Fix All Streetlights

The government said intensified monitoring appeared to be producing results, with daily streetlight complaints through Sahaaya 2.0 declining from an average of 293 in June to 235 in October.

Between September 1 and October 15, residents registered 8,186 streetlight-related complaints. Of these, 6,765 had been resolved, leaving 1,421 unresolved during the reported period.

The figures suggest that complaints are being addressed, but the remaining cases underline the need for continued monitoring and timely repairs.

With the October 31 deadline approaching, officials must complete pending installations, replace outdated lights where directed and ensure that contractors maintain the systems properly. The next challenge will be to keep the lights working after installation and prevent residents from repeatedly reporting the same faults.
