Fategarh: Tirwa Colony Streetlights Out, Local Leader Steps In

Fategarh, Farrukhabad – August 30, 2026 – For the past month, the area around Maa Manokamna Devi Temple in Tirwa Colony, Fategarh, Farrukhabad, has been plunged into darkness after sunset due to malfunctioning streetlights. This lack of illumination is causing significant inconvenience to local residents, devotees, and passersby.

Local residents reported that they have repeatedly contacted officials from the Municipal Council and the Electricity Department regarding this critical issue. Despite informing their local representative as well, no concrete action has been taken to date. The darkness poses considerable difficulties for devotees visiting the temple, particularly women, children, and the elderly, and has fueled concerns about safety.

The disruption to daily life in Tirwa Colony is severe, with streets falling silent after dusk, increasing the risk of antisocial activities. Residents' pleas to authorities have consistently resulted in mere assurances, leading to widespread dissatisfaction due to this neglect.

Witnessing the struggles of people trying to complete their daily activities in the dark, Rahul Rathore promptly contacted municipal administration and relevant electricity department officials. He demanded that the faulty streetlights be repaired and lighting be restored as soon as possible, prioritizing public welfare.

Rathore emphasized that all public issues, big or small, would be addressed with priority and their resolution ensured. He stressed that no citizen should be deprived of basic amenities.
