Save electric energy on Street Lights

A number of times it has been reported in press that the street lights are not switched off at dawn and lamps remain on during day time. The complaints made go undeard. The electric energy wasted and lost is considerable.

I have from time to time during last 22 years have made the complaints by putting great efforts and take my time out to visit Ghaziabad Nagar Nigam Office and report this matter. Most of the time they just hear it in casual manner, do not acknowledge written complaint. Sometime they accept the written compliant. I have never heard from any officer of Ghaziabad Nagar Nigam about the fate of my applications and representations made.

It seems there is thought blockade in their minds and lack of awareness. I have even suggested them to involve resident welfare associations and install automatic switching devises.

The amount of electricity saved by installation of automatic switching systems for street lights will pay back for it self in a few weeks. If there is shortage of funds towards the costs of installation the same can be outsourced on profit sharing basis.

Save electricity, save envoirnment, save money.
