Ait Melloul: The weakness of public lighting in the streets questions the territorial council

A. Latif Baraka: Heba Press

Some neighborhoods in the city of Ait Melloul, which belongs to the province of Inezgane, live with poor public lighting, which makes it more difficult for citizens to move around at night and early in the morning to get to work, which puts their safety at risk of thieves who hide in these streets or in certain dark squares.

Among the neighborhoods facing this situation is Maimoun Al-Ramuki Street, in the Al-Harsh neighborhood, where residents are beginning to feel unsafe, especially at night.

There are streets that need to be replaced because their lighting has become poor, leading to road accidents, most of which are pedestrians.

It is known that public lighting in cities is the responsibility of local authorities, whose bills are paid for the benefit of the National Electricity Office. However, their high bills force some communities to reduce the lamps or not to repair what is damaged. , the situation has reached the level of some local authorities in Souss, if the National Office has cut off the power supply to public lighting due to the accumulation of debts on these local authorities.
