Lalmonirhat:Modern streetlights have transformed Lalmonirhat district town into a dazzling urban landscape after dark, enhancing nighttime mobility and the city's aesthetic appeal.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the newly installed lights along major roads and neighborhood streets have received acclaim from residents and visitors, with many calling the town the 'City of Lights'. The initiative by Lalmonirhat Municipality has visibly changed the town, creating a more attractive environment and improving nighttime comfort for residents.
Touhidul Islam Chanchal, a cultural activist, praised the new streetlights for giving the town a fresh look, while resident Mohammad Shafiqul Islam noted the enhanced nighttime beauty. The ongoing development reflects commitments made by Minister Asadul Habib Dulu to transform the town. Auto-rickshaw driver Hafizur Rahman expressed hope that better illumination would reduce antisocial activities.
Students and educators, including Tanmoy Ahmed and Abdul Karim Sadeki, have also welcomed the lighting improvements for enhancing security and beauty. The project includes decorative gardens and modern lights installed along key routes, such as from the railway station to the Circuit House, and has involved significant financial investment.
The development work is part of a broader project across nine municipalities in the Rangpur division, with the streetlight installation inaugurated by Minister Asadul Habib Dulu. The municipality continues to implement and monitor the project, aiming to further modernize Lalmonirhat through additional initiatives and proposals.
