Solar panels to run traffic signals in Pakistan

[Rahul9090]

Islamabad: The Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) in Pakistan has planned to install solar energy panels to keep traffic signals around the city running during long power cuts, a media report said on Sunday.

Due to frequent power cuts in Rawalpindi, traffic has become un-manageable in the city, Dawn online reported.

A cantonment board official said that traffic wardens failed to control the traffic manually during the power cuts.

The cantonment board has finalised the installation of solar panel for each signal at the city's Kashmir Road, Bank Road, Benazir Bhutto Road and Punj Sarki.

The installation of the solar panels would cost about Rs.10 million (about $1 million).

Solar panels & Wind mills should be though out Pakistan, but the Govt. is not sincere with anything & so far they have done nothing practical, we have only seen paper work to fool the people.

Excellent Idea. Was this Sheikh Rasheed's Idea ?

It has been a while since this post but I don't think any developments have been made. The strange thing is that there are firms like ours who are willing to work on cost to help have such developments but no one listens. Its utterly disturbing.
