A decade of darkness has been dispelled, bringing light literally to the road and lighting up lives, too. On February 19, this year, mid-day reported how residents on the crowded DP Road at Pandurang Budhkar (PB) Marg Worli had been living in the dark (literally) for nearly a decade. There were no street lights on the mammoth DP Road leading from Century Mills towards Doordarshan and Glaxo, and finally the Annie Besant Road, with residents helpless after numerous appeals went unheeded.
