In a significant move towards sustainable development, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta unveiled plans to replace 44,000 traditional streetlights with energy-efficient LEDs across the city, earmarking completion before Diwali.
Addressing her Shalimar Bagh constituency, Gupta launched multiple infrastructure projects, including the installation of high-mast and pole lights valued at approximately Rs 97 lakh in the areas of Shalimar Bagh and Pitampura.
