This comes against the backdrop of the recent announcement by Union power minister that the State government would soon be powering LED lights across the State.
“The cost of the work was Rs 12 lakh and it was done through the Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation (GSIDC),” said Avertano adding, that he had sorted out the delay as the file had been stuck between the GSDIC and the Power Department.
“Soon we will be installing LED lights at the Telauuklim bridge as well and the tender work in that regard has already started” Furtado said.
Pointing out that the residents of the area had long been complaining about how the area was in darkness, Furtado said that one could immediately feel the impact of the LED lighting in the surrounding area.
Aquem Baixo Sarapnch Sharon Quadros also pointed out that the villagers had to deal with blackouts on the bridge for over a year and were grateful to the MLA for solving this problem.
A large crowd had gathered for the commissioning of the LED lights that has been welcomed by the public.
