Residents of Bellandur ward lit up the dark streets
Those staying near Sarjapur Road are breathing a sigh of relief because Junasandra Road, off Sarjapur Road, and Varthur Road are now brightly lit with LED (light-emitting diode) streetlights. Residents of Bellandur ward did not wait for the BBMP to light up the dark streets in their area. They lit up the roads with help from a company in LED lighting space.
Those staying near Sarjapur Road are breathing a sigh of relief, especially while driving in the area at night. Thanks to the efforts of some residents in the area. Since the Federation of Residents’ Welfare Associations in Ward 150 (Forward 150), was formed around three months ago, it has taken up various civic issues in that area including street lighting, cleanliness, lake development and so on.
A few of the members, especially Shekhar Reddy and Ramesh Sivaram, concerned over the state of poor streetlights in the area, took it upon themselves to do some research about LED lighting and companies manufacturing them. After a lot of looking around, they found Vignani Solutions, Koramangala that specializes in LED lights. Vignani Solutions agreed to put two LED street lights each in two demonstration sites Sarjapur Road and Varthur Road. The idea was to have LED lighting instead of conventional lighting because these lights consume less power. Even though they cost more compared to sodium vapour lights, the savings in terms of power bills would be much higher in the long run.
