Major roads in Mohali soon to have ornamental poles, decorative streetlights; first phase at Rs 1 cr

Previously, the MC had installed similar ornamental poles and decorative lights in some of Mohali’s key markets. These installations received positive feedback for their aesthetic appeal, although they are notably shorter than the new street lights being introduced on the main roads.

Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu stated that this is a pilot project, with 80 lights being installed in the first phase. He emphasised that these lights and poles will enhance the city’s appearance during the day and make it even more stunning at night. The initiative is part of a broader plan to develop Mohali as a smart city, with LED lights being installed on key roads and intersections. Following the successful implementation of this phase, ornamental poles and decorative lights will be extended to all major roads across the city. This initiative aims not only to beautify the city but also to reduce electricity consumption, as these lights will be environmentally friendly.

Installation of grills on road dividers underway

Meanwhile, to enhance road safety and prevent accidents, long grills costing Rs 3 crore are being installed on road dividers in Mohali. The installation has begun on the road stretching from Phase 3B2 towards Sector 76.
