"We have writing to BSES for change of age old wires in our colony for last two years but to no effect. Last year a car was also burnt in the colony due to poor wiring. The street lighting is never functional and the routine BSES officials reply is that they do not been provided the equipment by the company to replace the lights " said Rajiv Setia of Priya Enclave RWA.
"In Ram Vihar, change of wires was taken up by BSES after follow up of two years, but left the job after completing 40 % change of wires.
