Old City gets LEDs as pilot project

Two stretches were selected by the civic body in the west and south zone for LED installation, as a pilot project.

Streets connecting Falaknuma and Madina as well as the STRETCH from the Charminar to HICC, as well as its surrounding areas were lit up by new LED streetlights.

LED lights are energy efficient and can reduce total energy consumption by 65-67 per cen, according to the GHMC authorities.

The GHMC replaced 748 conventional bulbs with LEDs, on the Hitech City Kothaguda Road 289 bulbs were replaced and bulbs on the Chandryangutta – Nayapool stretch too were replacing with LED llights, following a budding process.
