Vellore and Tiruvannamalai to get 3,000 new LED street lights soon

Authorities are set to install <b>3,000 LED street lights</b> across the districts of <b>Vellore</b> and <b>Tiruvannamalai</b> to improve urban infrastructure. This initiative aims to replace outdated lighting systems with energy-efficient alternatives to enhance public safety and visibility after dark. While the upgrade is a welcome move, the real challenge lies in the <b>maintenance cycle</b>. Often, new infrastructure projects suffer from administrative lethargy, where lights are installed but left to flicker or fail without timely repairs. Better lighting will directly improve road safety for commuters and pedestrians in these districts.
