Street lights play crucial role to prevent of road accidents and increase in safety of city citizen.

Looking at save energy and safety issue, as many as 77000 sodium street lights including its related infrastructure have been replaced with smart LED lights in Jalandhar city under smart project to make the lighting system smarter and more efficient. Out of total 77000 LED lights, 22334 lights of 35W, 39045 of 70W, 9743 of 18W and 1215 of 110W have been installed across the city.
