Members of the team from the technical division of the corporation informed the officials that 20 beam lamps had been installed at a distance of 30 metres each.
“There is also a plan to light up the route from Basaveshwar Circle to the central bus stand, which is close to the fort,” the team members explained.
The authorities intend to make the fort more beautiful with colourful illumination, and also spread awareness on social issues among the people through a sound and light show on national and State festivals, like Independence Day, Republic Day and Kannada Rajyotsava.
Leksa Lighting Technologies Private Limited has bagged the contract to install around 400 beam-moving lights in the proposed areas. The work is likely to be completed in the next 10 days.
