The high mast lamp situated near Masjid-e-Noorani at Curti in Ponda is found non-functional on most occasions. As on Sunday, May 20 at 7 pm, all fixtures at this lamp were found to be out of order. Under such circumstances, pedestrians and travellers face great inconvenience while proceeding along this location especially at night. Due to darkness, there is every possibility of a mishap taking place sooner or later. Since burglaries and atrocities on the female gender have increased tremendously during recent years, young girls and women are at even greater risk. They are likely to be robbed of their valuables and even money. In public interest, it is absolutely necessary for the higher officials at the electricity department in Ponda to undertake necessary repairs at this high mast lamp so that proper illumination is assured on the road at night. Such a timely positive step would go a long way in assuring safety to one and all.
