Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday announced the 'Mukhyamantri Street Light Yojana', a scheme under which over two lakh street lights are to be installed to rid the Capital of dark spots.

At a press conference here, Mr. Kejriwal said citizens could apply for the installation of such lights in the vicinity of their homes, which will be installed by the three power distribution companies that supply power to the city.

The lights, which will have special sensors enabling them to turn on automatically after sunset, will be powered by electricity from domestic connections.
