A push to repurpose solar-powered lighting poles from the Ramli District and instal them in public parks of Howrat A’ali Housing has been approved by the Northern Municipal Council.
The proposal by four councillors, spearheaded by Dr Salman Abdulla, highlighted the urgent need for lighting in public parks, especially in Howrat A’ali, Block 714, where parks built more than 13 years ago remained without the service.
“The lack of lighting constitutes an obstacle to using the park and raises concerns related to public safety,” said Dr Abdulla, who is also the chairman of the financial, administrative and legislative.
“We must act now.”
The four councillors stressed the importance of reusing resources instead of discarding them.
“These lights would be thrown out and we could use them in the parks,” said Dr Abdulla, underlining the practicality and sustainability of the proposal.
