40% dysfunctional: Pailebbmp said they had begun to repair damaged street lights on stretching since the orrca survey and 60% now work.
“There are many pedestrians across the road.

But unfortunately, it didn’t happen,” said Krishna Kumar Gowda, Operational manager, ORRCA.
“Civil institutions need to work in coordination and repair road lights immediately,” he said.
Ramesh Nandi, a Techie and Orr user, said he had recently hit his car into a pedestrian with a dark stretch.
“Near the stretch of debol, the street lights are hardly functioning.
Like Flash, one street light works among many dead.
This doesn’t help,” he said.
“On Saturday night recently, I was driving back home and couldn’t see the hump because it was dark dark.
I jumped humped and would hit pedestrians.
Luckily, I pulled my hand brake and vehicle stop.
It can be a fatal accident , “he said.
Jurisdictional police officers say: “We have asked BBMP to repair street lights on this stretch as soon as possible, but it doesn’t work.
Ensure that the accident does not occur has become a Herculean task for us.” Orrca previously raised the problem of dysfunctional road lights at a multi-agency meeting Chared by EV Ramana Reddy, additional major secretary, the Information Technology Department, who instructed BBMP to immediately resolve the problem.
