The Concerned Journalists Association (CJA) is calling on local authorities to urgently address the malfunctioning street lights across various areas of the city.
The absence of adequate lighting has resulted in a troubling increase in pedestrian accidents, robberies, and other incidents, particularly in poorly lit regions.
Recent reports reveal that dark streets have become hotspots for criminal activity and road accidents, endangering lives and compromising public safety. Both pedestrians and motorists have voiced growing concerns about the dangers posed by these unlit areas.
The CJA asserts that restoring and maintaining street lights is crucial for improving safety and reducing these preventable incidents. We urge the relevant authorities to make this issue a priority and implement prompt, effective measures to repair and upkeep the city’s street lighting system.
Ensuring public safety should be a paramount concern, and addressing this pressing issue will contribute to creating safer communities for all residents.
