Gujjar Nagar sans streetlights for months
Jammu, February 3
With the fall of dusk, the Sher-e-Kashmir bridge in Gujjar Nagar plunges into darkness, as the streetlights over the bridge are defunct. This has been making commuting difficult during evening hours.
On both sides of the bridge, the streetlights wink at commuters and need immediate replacement or repair.
