The Department of Transportation (Dishub) of Medan City, North Sumatra, installed public street lighting (LPJU) at a number of points in this area.

Head of the Medan City Transportation Agency, Iswar Lubis, said the LPJU installation was to realize the Bright Medan Program.

"We also apologize because the community has been disturbed. Thank God it has been completed, so we re-installed LPJU in several locations that had been dark," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 26.

He said the installation of this LPJU was part of the installation of 569 new LPJU units in 21 sub-districts in Medan City.

The Medan City Transportation Service has received a report of 9,018 complaints of LPJU disturbances in Medan City, of which 8,753 cases must be resolved because they were damaged.

The Transportation Agency collaborated with the Medan City Construction Highways Water Resources Agency (SDABMBK) to trim trees to support the installed LPJU lighting.

"On several roads, light lighting is not optimal because it is blocked by branches, so the assistance from the SDABMBK Service for branches is cut for maximum lighting," he said.

Iswar also said that personnel had repaired lighting and networks that had been cut off and treated by LPJU.

Data from the Medan City Government last March, the capital city of North Sumatra Province needed 124,038 points of LPJU to realize the Bright Medan Program.

Of the total coverage, 94,312 LPJU points have been built and operated with 20,963 LPJU points including the LED type.

"We hope that the installation of LPJU in Medan City can be clear again and it is hoped that it can minimize the crime figures that occur in Medan City," he said.
