Diwali may be just behind us, but some locals along with their elected representatives have ensured that dimness is dispelled and replaced by brightness and safety. This paper carried an extensive report about south Mumbai residents calling out the dim lighting on an Old Cuffe Parade road. The result was that corporators of the ward pushed for better lighting on that street.

Now, there are sanctions for at least 41 light poles on the road. These poles have a two-pronged arm, and the light falls on the pavement and the street. The unique feature is that light falls on to the footpath, too, which illuminates the path for pedestrians.
