Kaushambi children appeal to District Magistrate for village street lights

In the Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh, a video of three children appealing to the District Magistrate for street lights has gone viral on social media. The children, from Chak Ahmadi Pur village in the Manjhanpur tehsil, expressed their fear of venturing outside after dark due to the lack of illumination and the presence of animals in nearby fields.

In the footage, one child uses a torch to demonstrate the darkness in the village lanes and the absence of lights on utility poles. Following the social media attention, District Magistrate Amit Pal took cognizance of the matter. He has issued instructions to the relevant officials, including the Chail XEN and the Kaushambi BDO, to investigate the situation and take necessary action to install street lights in the village.
