LEAD Youngstars Approach HDMC To Fix Streetlight Problem

LEAD Youngstars from Gopancoppa found their locality lacked functioning street lights.   The young school students decided they wanted to solve this problem, so they took action.  They started by surveying the locality and found that out of 80 street lights, only 30 were working properly.  In addition, they drew a map of the area, approached 150 homes and, with their support and signatures, the students approached the HDMC commissioners.  The officials have given their word to inspect the area and implement the necessary changes.
