In a major development, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) along with the Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking will soon set up a unique LED lighting system in Cuff Parade.

This comes as a ray of hope for the residents of Cuffe Parade as they are apprehensive to walk at night. Moreover, it will illuminate pavements and the road. Residents believe that these lights were much needed as there have been cases of theft and robbery earlier in the Cuffe Parade area.

The officials said that the project is being funded and sanctioned by the BMC. However, it is being executed by the engineers of BEST.

A senior officer from BEST informed that the planning work was being done by them which was later authorised by the BMC.

The official also stated that they have set up 30 poles adjoining the road at Captain Prakash Pethe Marg in Cuffe Parade. The primary objective was to set up 41 poles however some of these poles couldn’t be set up as metro works were ongoing, the official added.

The project is being proposed and backed by BJP corporators Harshita Narwekar and Makarand Narwekar.

Talking to reporters, BJP corporators said that they was approached by the residents to take action on the sidewalks in the dark after sunset and to make them more pedestrian friendly. Also, these lights will be installed in the entire 'A' ward in phases.
