Commonwealth Games in 2010 to be well lit
All important roads which lead to Games venue, airport, hotels, stations, etc. are to be well lit as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi is spending around 40 million USD on improving the street lights prior to the Commonwealth Games in 2010.
A total of 125 roads are to be equipped with new street lights, thus covering hundreds of kilometres, works committee chairman Mahender Nagpal explains in an article brought in The Times of India.
The two first phases of the project are to be completed before the Games begin, and the last phase is taken up once the Games are over.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi is also carrying out repair and maintenance work on over six thousand high-mast lights in Delhi.
