‘Smart upgrade’ for streetlights on 9 roads in new sectors

By Sumit Blogs -

Gurgaon: The streets of the newly developed sectors are going to be a whole lot smarter with the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) planning to convert the streetlights on nine stretches into a smart network. The project, officials said, has the potential to reduce operating costs as it would provide web-based control of the light fixtures and the network.
The first-of-its-kind initiative will be rolled out on roads between Sectors 76 and 77, 75A and 76, 75 and 75A, 73 and 74, 71 and 73, 70 and 75, 70 and 70A, 68 and 69, and 68 and 70, which house several schools, gated societies, offices and commercial spaces and see a high volume of vehicular and pedestrian movement.
According to officials, unlike regular standard streetlights, the smart network will be linked to the Integrated Command and Control Centre of the GMDA, enabling officials to monitor, control and dim them remotely using a cloud-based application.
“These smart lights will have a pre-programmed operating schedule like regular streetlights and will also allow the control centre to control the brightness. For example, if traffic thins post-midnight, we can switch from 120 watts to 60 watts instead to save power consumption,” Shitij Kumar, an executive engineer at GMDA’s electrical infrastructure division, said. Smart streetlights, the official added, can also trigger maintenance alerts in real-time.
The authority, which floated a tender inviting bids for the project this week, expects to complete it in six months. The project is set to cost the GMDA around Rs 10.9 crore.
“The nine stretches in the newly developed sectors will be the first few areas in the city to have a smart streetlight network. Currently, Delhi has similar a network near Rashtrapati Bhawan and the presidential estate,” Kumar said. He added the project may be replicated in other areas depending on its performance.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
