The residents of Jakkasandra ward 173, including residents of Sector 5 and Sector 6, can expect their streets to be better lit in the coming days.
On Saturday, MLA Ramalinga Reddy and corporator Saraswathamma attended a pooja programme to provide 65 LED lights for the entire ward. And these also include automatic sensor switches that will automatically turn on during sundown, saving precious electricity.
Many might not know this but the Jakkasandra ward includes areas of Sector 6 (the area behind the Silk Board bus stand right up to Teacher’s Colony) and Sector 5 (the area between Teacher’s Colony and 14th Main Road near Greenview Hospital).
“Our area got about four automatic sensors,” says Mohan Govindiah, secretary, Namma Teacher’s Colony Residents Welfare Association. “The LED street light fittings and control switches in Jakkasandra Ward are being given under the MLA Special Grants scheme, and are worth Rs 25 lakh.”
The pooja was held at 10am on September 29 at the BBMP Park in Sector 5, near Arogya Ahaara restaurant.
