GWADAR | The Gwadar Development Authority (GDA) has installed streetlights along major roads, key routes and prominent public locations across Gwadar, while converting several lighting installations to solar power to improve energy efficiency and reduce dependence on conventional electricity.

According to the GDA, the initiative is part of the provincial government’s efforts under Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti’s development vision to improve urban infrastructure, public safety and tourism facilities.
The authority said the installation of streetlights had improved nighttime visibility and made travel more convenient for residents and visitors.
Street lighting along Marine Drive has also enhanced the coastal road’s nighttime appearance, adding to its appeal as a recreational and tourist destination.
