DibrugarH: Certain stretches of the Dibrugarh town, particularly the one starting inches away from the Panchali main point to Kumarpara, having been falling into complete darkness at sundown as the streetlights haven’t been functioning. With the lights not being able to lit the area, the local public was found complaining about the darkness that engulfs the area.
What makes it a major concern is the fact that it is a part of NH-37, and vehicles of all kinds are often seen plying on the road. The area is also heavily populated, intensifying the threat. There have already been a couple of cases of confusion and misreading of vehicular movement by commuters as well as pedestrians. The darkness, the locals here believe, is being used by certain anti-social elements.
