[Resolved]  Apcpdcl — STREET LIGHT

Address:

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

Dear Sir/Madam, Road lights from Hyderabad Central (Opposite Police Station, Punjagutta, Hyderabad) to Supplies Bhavan (Opposite Post Office, Somajiguda), Erramanjil, are switched off between 4.30 a.m. to 5.00 a.m., while lights at other roads are switched off till there is darkness. You will appreciate that there is pitch dark up to 5.45 a.m. If the lights are switched off at 4.30 a.m., what is the use of installing lights on that road? I go for yoga early in the morning and I have to cross the road. Being darkness on the road, there is every possibility of fatal accidents taking place. I myself have suffered very much many times, as the roads have pit holes and one gets tumbled down and injured oneself. Many a time, I have a narrow escape from meeting with accidents, as some two-wheelers or three-wheelers have lights being out of order, which are not visible to the passers-by crossing the road and there is every possibility of meeting with an accident. If the lights are switched off so early, the very purpose of providing lights on the roads is defeated. I request you to kindly instruct the person concerned to perform his duties according to the rules and regulations of APCPDCL. It seems it is the mischief of the official concerned to whom this duty of switching off the lights has been assigned; otherwise APCPDCL will not allow the lights to be switched off so early. Early action in the matter will be highly appreciated. A line in confirmation on my email address: [protected]@yahoo.co.in may be given. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Satya Pal Phogat
