Public Urged to Save Power, But Who Accounts for Department’s Waste?

Streetlights glowing round the clock expose the department’s own negligence and double standards. The government’s appeal to the public to save electricity in exchange for a 20% relief has sparked mixed reactions, as glaring instances of wastage by the power department continue unchecked. Across several towns and villages, street lamps remain switched on even during broad daylight, raising questions about accountability within the department. Citizens argue that while they are urged to adopt energy-saving habits, the authorities themselves fail to prevent such routine wastage of power funded by taxpayers.
