Chennai residents in the future would be able to witness a different and brighter Chennai city!!
Thanks for the steps that are being taken by the Chennai Corporation. In the future, Chennai would have additional 5594 street lights and 856 high mast lights. An amount of Rs 33.57 crores would be spent on this lighting. The Chennai city corporation`s electrical department has been maintaining as many as 291415 LED street lights in Chennai now.
Under the Nirbhaya Scheme of protection for women, more street lights would be installed in Chennai and this was mentioned by Mr. K.N. Nehru, municipal administration minister for Tamil Nadu.
It must be taken into account that at present as many as 1104 energy saving LED lights are being installed in several localities in Chennai such as Thiruvottiyur, Manali, Madhavaram, Ambattur, Valasaravakkam, Perungudi and Sholinganallur etc. This was confirmed by the statement belonging to GCC.
