Taking serious note of mid-day’s report, authorities have finally illuminated the area outside the Aarey-JVLR Metro station, bringing some much-needed relief to commuters and pedestrians. New lights have been installed around the station premises, while temporary high-beam fixtures have been set up along the road beneath the elevated, under-construction Metro line.
Abhishek Patil, a Shiv Sena (UBT) Yuva Sena member and local resident, said the action followed mid-day’s article and a letter from MLA Anant (Bala) Nar to the authorities concerned.
