GUWAHATI, Oct 9: In a groundbreaking step towards modernizing urban infrastructure, the Assam Government is set to launch the first phase of the Smart Street Lighting Project featuring Centralized Control and Monitoring Systems (CCMS), the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) announced on Wednesday.
The inauguration of this ambitious project is scheduled for 6:15 PM on 9th October at Nandi Mikir Primary School, Chachal, Guwahati.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will inaugurate the event in the presence of Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Ashok Singhal and Guwahati Municipal Corporation Mayor Mrigen Sarania.
The project will install over 11,000 energy-efficient LED street lights across Guwahati as part of the first phase, out of a total of 20,667.
Additionally, these lights will illuminate 944 roads, significantly enhancing the safety and sustainability of the city.
Meanwhile, the CCMS will allow centralized control over the lighting system, enabling group-level adjustments for on/off functions, dimming, and energy-saving features.
Lights will also be monitored remotely via a cloud-based management system, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing efficiency.
Furthermore, automatic dimming after midnight is another key feature designed to conserve energy and reduce costs.
With a total project cost of ₹83.96 crores, this initiative will drastically improve street lighting, enhancing safety for residents and promoting environmental sustainability.
