Public Lighting Outage in Meknes’ Chahdia District Due to Vandalism

Last night, the Chahdia district in Meknes experienced a public lighting outage after unknown individuals stole the cover of a manhole containing electrical cables and set it on fire at entrance number P489. This act resulted in the complete failure of the district’s lighting network.

The incident sparked outrage among residents, as the ensuing darkness significantly impacted both pedestrian safety and traffic flow. The theft of manhole covers, in general, is a concerning phenomenon that not only disrupts essential services but also poses serious risks to pedestrians and drivers due to uncovered openings in public streets.

Residents are urging the authorities to promptly repair the damage and implement preventive measures to prevent such incidents from recurring. They are calling for increased surveillance and stricter penalties for those involved in such acts of vandalism.
