Stating that all the Mercury lamps on the main roads and street lights of the West Assembly constituency are out of order, Dimple demanded replacement of all these lights. He however said that the only sky lift vehicle of the JMC is not in working condition for last three months and demanded to purchase at least three more sky lift vehicles for Jammu city.
