A stretch of road in Worli, the Pandurang Budhkar Marg, has got streetlights after 10 long, trying years. This paper has been reporting on this since February this year. We first flagged the situation eight months ago, showing through our report and pictures just how difficult things were for residents. The area which is close to Glaxo and Doordarshan has a massive building with 1800 residents. The street stretch outside that building, which has several shops below, has been in darkness for 10 years.

When we visited the spot, people were negotiating a darkened stretch made narrower with bike parking. Vehicles and pedestrians were literally inches away from each other, with visibility compromised.
