Smart Electric Poles, equipped with multiple features, have been erected in Namsai town of Arunachal.
The poles come with an EV charger, CCTV, an Emergency help button, and a Weather Report screen.
The project is a significant step towards enhancing urban infrastructure by integrating crucial services into single poles.
MC Saikia, Junior Engineer of the Namsai Power department, stated that these poles, also known as Smart street lights, have been installed in three towns of Arunachal, including Namsai.
Two more towns are slated to receive these installations.
