ABOUT 42 parks in Ayodhya would be illuminated through solar power in the coming days. Uttar Pradesh new and renewable energy development agency (UPNEDA) is going to install solar trees in the parks, taking forward the vision to deploy renewable energy sources as far as possible in the temple town. While eight parks would be powered by 2.5 kilowatt solar trees, the remaining 34 parks would be lit up with the help of 1 kilowatt trees.

 

The decorative trees have been designed in a way that the lights illuminate the central area of the parks where benches would be put up. Moreover, a solar power city being set up in the city, would supply power to the important locations.

Project manager UPNEDA, Praveen Nath Pandey said that overall, at 52 locations, solar trees are going to be installed and work is underway to cover all the locations.
