NOIDA: While the street lighting fixtures had been repaired at Fresco Chowk in Sector 85 the place Radio Mirchi government Tania Khanna died in a automotive accident within the early hours of Wednesday, the sector roads alongside the Noida throughway are poorly lit.
A fact take a look at on Thursday night time published several dark stretches from Noida site visitors control room on the throughway to Sector 137 — a 11.3-kilometre distance. On all of the course, TOI spotted only one PCR van close to Advant Building. Khanna took the similar course while coming back from Gurgaon administrative center to Sector 137. Her automotive Verna fell into an open drain while negotiating a bend close to the Sector 85 roundabout.
Though site visitors lighting fixtures have been operational at sectors 98-105 crossing, side road lighting fixtures were not purposeful. This dark stretch continued for around a kilometre until we found some site visitors lighting fixtures and side road lighting fixtures purposeful close to Sector 82 police chowki. Again there have been several dark stretches until Sector 93, the place we spotted a PCR van parked close to the Advant Building.
A identical state of affairs prevailed on the stretch from Advant Building to Sector 137. On all of the stretch, only a few side road lighting fixtures have been purposeful. However, the Fresco Chowk was neatly lit with side road lighting fixtures.
Residents of several housing socities — Punvanchal Royal Park, Paramount Floraville Sector, Supertech Ecociti, Logix Blossom County, Paras Tierea — say commuting has turn out to be a nightmare for them within the absence of proper side road lighting fixtures. Numerous residents who have moved into these societies up to now few years, trip to their places of work in Delhi everyday.
“Quite a few corporations have arise alongside the throughway. People return home late night time from their places of work, but traversing in this 11.3-kilometre stretch has turn out to be a nightmare. Crimes like snatchings and vehicle thefts are the upward thrust,” said Gaurav Singh, a resident of Sector 137.
Indrish Gupta, co-founder of NEFOWA, said defunct side road lighting fixtures are a major issue for growing sectors. “Our organisation will dangle meetings with the Noida Authority officers and demand the roads be lit correctly. We will even demand proper safety measures and fencing of drains within the sectors,” he said.
When contacted, Anil Kumar Jha, SP (site visitors), Noida, said the maintenance of site visitors signals is with the Noida Authority. But Authority officers may just not be contacted, regardless of repeated attempts.
Satyendra Kumar Rai, SHO of Phase II police station, said the local police chowki in-charge has been directed to extend patrolling within the space.
