Street lights

Well-lit streets ensure visibility and safety of residents. However, many neighbourhoods, including mine, in Karachi plunge into darkness after sunset as they do not have sufficient street lights. In the absence of street lights, people have to walk in dark streets, which makes them an easy target for robberies and other illegal activities. Furthermore, lack of street lights leads to road accidents, which does not just put people at risk, but also makes our already burdened hospitals busier. The authorities concerned should install street lights in all areas of the city to reduce the number of accidents, and to make Karachi a better and safer city for all to live peacefully.
