The BEST Committee has put a hold on a proposal to install 1,450 conventional streetlight poles in Worli, Mumbai, at an estimated cost of Rs 2.50 crore. The members expressed interest in giving the poles a local touch, emphasizing the need for the design to reflect the neighborhood's identity rather than adhering to a uniform appearance throughout the city.
The proposal included various pole designs with different heights and materials, such as zinc-plated poles, and the committee sought details on the quality of work and the appointed manufacturer. Committee Chairperson Trushna Vishwasrao urged the administration to rethink the design and ensure that the streetlights are aesthetically pleasing while maintaining functionality and safety.
