Delhi Authorities Address Lighting and Security Issues After Aastha Kunj Park Incident
Following the gang rape of a 17-year-old at Aastha Kunj Park in Delhi, residents and officials have raised concerns about poor lighting, damaged boundary walls, and inadequate security in DDA parks. Delhi Police reports reveal slow progress in addressing 164 identified dark spots across the city. In response, the Public Works Department has launched a pilot project in Hari Nagar to retrofit existing streetlight poles with adjustable brackets to improve illumination and reduce dark areas, aiming to enhance public safety.
