The issue of faulty street lights kicked up a heated debate at the council meeting of the Kozhikode Municipal Corporation on Friday. Shameel introduced the topic in the form of a calling attention motion, pointing out that several street lights in his ward were non-functional, and that they had stopped working much before guarantee period of 40,000 to 90,000 hours. Lalithaprabha, however, termed the allegations “far-fetched” and said that the corporation had an annual maintenance contract for street lights, and it had paid whatever amount was due to the Kerala State Electricity Board for the purpose. Meanwhile, the health officer said no toxic substances were detected in fish during inspections in the city. Shobhita complained that the starters and chalks of tube lights were sub-standard.
