Sambalpur: Taking Money but No Service, Even after complaints, street lights were not repaired, What is street light repair company doing?
Sambalpur: Complain on WhatsApp if the street lights are not lit will be fixed immediately. Repair will be done in one day by giving proper address and pole number. The Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation has made such a promise to the people of Sambalpur. The organization that arranges the street lights has been severely reprimanded. But even after 7 days of complaining, the work could not be done. The street is dark. The residents of Modipada Budi area of Ward No. 22 have complained in the name of Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation. Despite the order of SMC the repair company that is carrying out repairs is not obeying.
The SMC is collecting gross tax from each household. Various taxes are taking thousands of rupees annually. But the service is failing to deliver. People’s dissatisfaction has increased. In the last 15 days, some of the street lights have gone damaged. The people contacted the number 6371822388 given by SMC asked to send pole number address to this number through WhatsApp. Accordingly, the pollenumber, address and a photo of the pole were shared with the complaint and a complaint number (11950) was also given from that number. Even after a week of giving the number, the repair could not be done. So the local people are being harassed.
Not only the residents of that area, but also the non-working street lights in different parts of the city are not being repaired. Even after the complaints, no reformation people have been employed by the SMC. The repair company is taking big money from SMC. People complained that if the service was not being provided, then why should he be paid so much if the contractor is not able to repair it? Why can’t it be repaired even after 7 days of complaint? The residents of the city have asked various questions. On the other hand, the SMC Deputy Commissioner said, “Make a complaint with me.” The incident will be resolved immediately. It will be repaired by tomorrow.
