LUCKNOW, Feb. 23 -- Streetlights in some areas under the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) remain switched on during the day, leading to significant power wastage despite multiple complaints from residents.

For instance, residents of Lalkuan area reported that the streetlights have been on round the clock in an entire lane near the road connecting Chitwapur and Lalkuan.

The residents said that even after lodging complaints on the IGRS portal, they received a resolution message within two hours, yet the issue remained unresolved.

The residents have demanded urgent intervention by LMC authorities to rectify the problem to ensure that streetlights function as intended and power and public funds are not wasted.
