A LED fixture over an electricity pole near the Almeida High School in the vicinity of the old bus stand in Ponda has been covered with branches of an adjoining tree. Hence illumination over the road gets restricted to a great extent. Pedestrians and travellers have to walk in the darkness thereby causing them inconvenience in the night. This undesirable situation has been existing for a quite a long time. However, the maintenance staff deputed at this strategic location have failed to initiate timely favourable action in the interest of public at large. As on Thursday, March 11 at 11:30 am, the situation in this regard was found to be unchanged. It is the need of the hour for the higher officials at the electricity department in Ponda to take note and chop the branches covering the light fixture so that pedestrians and travellers are assured proper illumination on the road. Let us hope that immediate positive steps would be initiated in this important matter at the earliest without any further delay.
