Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has installed streetlights at 274 previously dark spots across the city to improve safety, particularly for women and senior citizens. This initiative follows directives from Maharashtra Legislative Council deputy chairperson Neelam Gorhe, who highlighted concerns about poorly lit and isolated areas posing security risks.
During a meeting with PMC officials, Gorhe emphasized the need for adequate lighting and functional CCTV cameras in vulnerable locations. PMC commissioner Rajendra Bhosale and the police collaborated to identify and illuminate key areas under the Shivajinagar-Ghole Road, Kothrud-Bavdhan, and Aundh-Baner ward offices.
Notable locations where streetlights have been installed include Dengle Bridge, Patil Estate Bridge, Apte Road, Ramoshiwadi, Wakdewadi, Janwadi, Eklavya College, Paramhans Nagar, and stretches from Paranjape School to Cummins Company Gate, Chandni Chowk bus stop, Kothrud Depot, and ARAI Road. Additionally, the PMC has repaired and installed CCTV cameras in several areas to bolster surveillance and ensure public safety.
