Noida Authority set to build 35 traffic booths in city
Noida: The Noida Authority is planning to construct around 35 modern traffic booths across the city to enhance the working conditions of traffic personnel and streamline vehicular movement in high-traffic zones. These booths will be installed at those points where traffic volume is consistently high, particularly during peak hours. These include busy intersections, roundabouts, and identified "dark spots" where traffic regulation is currently hampered due to the absence of infrastructure.

Authority officials have nearly finalised the design and are expected to float tenders for construction soon. "These booths are crucial to protect traffic personnel from extreme weather conditions while also offering them a vantage point to manage traffic more effectively," said a senior Authority official.

The Authority plans to complete the construction and installation of the booths over the next few months, pending the finalisation of the tendering process.

CMC to illuminate new stretch with LED lights
1 2 Cuttack: The Cuttack municipal corporation (CMC) has announced plans to illuminate a newly constructed road stretching from NH-16 to Nuapada, which runs alongside Taladanda canal. The project will see the installation of over 100 octagonal lighting poles equipped with energy-efficient LED lights on the 1.5km-long stretch. Thw initiative comes in response to the increasing vehicular movement on the road, which has raised safety concerns among commuters. "The safety of citizens is our top priority. This project will not only ensure a well-lit road but also reduce the risks of accidents and criminal activities," Cuttack mayor Subhash Singh said. The project has been allocated an estimated budget of Rs 92 lakh, with tenders awarded to a private contractor. Singh added that the work is scheduled to be completed by the end this month. Prabhas Biswal, CMC's electrical engineer, elaborated on the technical aspects and said, "An automatic timer system will be installed, ensuring the lights switch on automatically once the sun sets." This technology-driven approach is expected to reduce manual intervention, improve safety and enhance energy efficiency by monitoring power usage and cutting maintenance costs. Residents of the area have welcomed the move. Rohan Biswal, a resident of Nuapada, said, "We are glad that the long-neglected stretch will finally have proper illumination. CMC must ensure its maintenance properly after installation."
