Pamban road bridge plunged into darkness due to non-functional streetlights
Inadequate maintenance of streetlights on the Pamban road bridge is creating accident risks for travelers at night.
Most of the streetlights installed on the Pamban road bridge are non-functional, leaving the area in darkness at night and posing a safety risk to commuters.
Pamban panchayat officials state that only 25 percent of the 220 LED lights are currently working. While the Rameswaram municipality previously managed electricity bills after the National Highways Department stopped maintenance, financial constraints have now led to poor upkeep. Officials noted that since the toll booth at the entrance was closed nine years ago, there have been significant issues regarding the management and payment of electricity for the bridge.
