Your SMS can light up city roads

Who would of thought getting street lights repaired could soon be right at your finger tips. SMS the ID code of the light to have it repaired.

Expressindia.com looked into the idea to help improve the current service.

In the proposal that is awaiting approval, the traffic police have recommended a system whereby a unique ID will be painted boldly on each pole.

The complaints can be sent through SMS citing the ID number to a server that will compile the data with the help of a special software. The complaint number will be sent back automatically to the cellphone of the complainant.

It will be interesting to see if this takes off and people buy into this system. The set up of the ID tag for each post could a costly exercise.
