Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda has set October 31 as the deadline for completing the installation and replacement of LED streetlights across Bengaluru.

On Friday, Mr. Gowda held a virtual meeting and directed officials to physically inspect streetlights after installation and verify their functioning instead of relying solely on reports of completed work.

Contractors would be penalised if lights were not installed properly or failed to function, he said.

He directed the officials to intensify field inspections and penalise contractors for maintenance failures.
