The 'Smart Janpath' in Bhubaneswar is grappling with severe lighting issues. Both median and street lights are non-functional, especially from Rupali Square to Master Canteen. The problem arose after JCBs damaged underground power cables while digging soil for plantation. This darkness has turned once-crowded pedestrian zones, cycle tracks, and bus stops into deserted areas due to fear of theft and accidents. Even areas in front of the BMC office are affected, leading to public dissatisfaction over the maintenance of the city's premier model road. https://sambad.in/metro/the-kingdom-of-darkness-on-the-smart-public-road-11999453 #creator program
