The Civic Body Has Prepared a Plan to Install LED Lights on Streets in Several Areas

GURGAON: In a bid to light up the city streets and save electricity consumption at the same time, the civic body has prepared a plan to install LED lights on streets in several areas. According to the plan, these lights will be installed at 40 points in the four zones of the city. The civic body will use a GPS system to monitor these areas to ensure that electricity is not wasted. The task of monitoring these lights through GPS has been assigned to Rolta, a city-based company. "With the help of GPS monitoring, we will be able to keep tabs on all the lights from a central server room. This will make it easier for us to know which streetlights are functioning and which are not. We have asked Rolta to set up a GPS server room and install GPS on all the electricity poles which will be 8 metres high and will have two LED lights of 60 watts each," said MCG superintendent engineer, Y K Garg. The total cost of setting up the poles and the server room, as well as installing the lights, is pegged at Rs 8.18 crore. Source: indiatimes.com
