Bengaluru South City Corporation has imposed a total penalty of Rs 13 lakh on three contractors for lapses in streetlight maintenance.
A night inspection found several non-functional LED streetlights, while complaints registered through the Sahaaya App between September 1 and 23 indicated delays in repairs and inspections.
Spectrum Tool Engineers was fined Rs 9.56 lakh, Effilume Pvt Ltd Rs 3.29 lakh and Transglobal Power Ltd Rs 14,599.
Engineers and contractors were directed to eliminate dark spots & repair faulty lights immediately @comm_blr_south
. @EESL_India has a scheme in which it covers entire upfront investment for LED street lights, eliminating the need for additional budget allocation from local bodies. Local bodies repay EESL from savings generated in energy & maintenance costs for 7-yrs.

CM @DKShivakumar said there was no objection to Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists, but it should not be used for political purposes. "Everyone eligible should have the right to vote. This is a democratic country, not a dictatorship," he said, backing Rahul Gandhi’s concerns over Election Commission.
On the Centre’s advance funds, Shivakumar asked, “Hasn’t the central government given advance money to other states?” He said Karnataka had sought an all-party delegation to meet the Prime Minister & urged Union Minister @JoshiPralhad to join.
