Intersections at 7x sectors in Noida set to get lights by next month

NOIDA: In a step that will be beneficial for residents living in the bustling 7x sectors in the city, five new high mast lights are expected to be installed at different junctions of these sectors by mid-February.
Street crime has always been a concern in the area with residents complaining of incidents of snatching and theft, particularly after sunset when some patches of the road turn completely dark.Most of these incidents have been reported outside societies like Prateek Wisteria in Sector 77, Mahagun Moderne Sector 78, Gardenia Gateway Sector 75, etc.
Approximately 50,000 residents live in the 7x sectors and they are expected to benefit from the high mast project.
“In the last few years, there have been several incidents of mobile snatching along with a few road accidents in the area. These high masts will be helpful in lowering the number of crime cases in the 7x areas. We have requested for five high mast lights for different junctions in the area,” said Amit Gupta, a resident of Prateek Wisteria Sector 77.
Of the five high masts that are expected to be ready by February 15, the base work for the installation has already begun at Sector 77-116 Civitech junction, Sector 78-77 Mahagun and Sector 79-116 Junction.
When contacted, Rajeev Yadav, junior engineer in charge of the high mast project, said that approvals have come through and the work will begin soon.
“The high mast lights will be installed in 7x sectors by February 15. The installation work has already started in some areas and will be completed soon,” he said.
