  "account": "The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has announced plans to replace all streetlights in its LDA City housing project with solar-powered alternatives. This move aims to cut down on electricity expenses. The governing body has authorized funds to install solar-powered LED streetlights in the Jinnah Sector. Each new streetlight pole will be fitted with a 200-watt LED light. The project's PC-1 was discussed during a governing body meeting led by the LDA vice chairman. The decision comes after the authority evaluated the performance of solar lights in other locations before rolling out the larger plan. LDA intends to broaden the use of other solar-powered installations to lessen its dependence on costly grid electricity and decrease long-term operational costs. This initiative aligns with the authority’s objective to reduce electricity expenditures and transition street lighting in residential zones to alternative energy sources.",
