Reasi, March 23: In a major step towards sustainable urban development and improved public services, the Reasi Municipal Committee has ensured that street lighting throughout the town will remain unaffected during power outages, with many municipal lights now powered by solar energy.
As part of this initiative, over 100 solar-powered streetlights are being installed at key locations across Reasi town, including main roads, residential areas, market places, and other public spaces. The project aims to provide consistent illumination, enhance public safety, and improve overall convenience for residents and visitors, especially during night hours.
Officials from the Municipal Committee stated that the transition to solar energy will significantly reduce dependence on conventional electricity and help address the challenges posed by frequent power cuts in the region. The solar streetlights are equipped with modern technology, ensuring efficient energy storage and automatic operation from dusk to dawn.
The initiative is also aligned with the broader vision of promoting clean and renewable energy sources. By harnessing solar power, the Municipal Committee is not only reducing electricity costs but also contributing to environmental conservation and sustainable development.
Local residents have welcomed the move, expressing satisfaction over improved lighting conditions and enhanced safety in their localities. The well-lit streets are expected to discourage anti-social activities and facilitate smoother movement of pedestrians and vehicles during night time.
Authorities further informed that additional locations are being identified for future installation of solar lights, with a focus on expanding coverage to uncovered and peripheral areas of the town.
With this proactive initiative, Reasi is setting an example in adopting eco-friendly solutions while ensuring uninterrupted essential civic services.
