Kupwara: Residents in Handwara town are experiencing inconveniences as a result of the government’ refusal to repair broken streetlights.
Residents complained bitterly about the authorities, saying they had to endure great problems since there were no lamps, and they accused them of being passive observers.
According to them, the town’s streetlights have been out of commission for the last two years, but Municipal Committee Handwara has done nothing to fix them or put in new ones.
Residents said that owing to broken lamps, the whole town, including Handwara market, was completely in the dark.
“Tradespeople and commuters must deal with difficulties as a result of broken lamps. Even though requests have been made, the authorities are refusing to fix the lights that were placed a few years ago. Nearly the whole town is enveloped in darkness in the evening, according to a merchant.
Residents said that the government sometimes gave them false optimism.
They urged the relevant authorities to look into the situation and replace or repair the broken streetlights as soon as possible.
