The lights were installed in four villages?Gwanmae, Yuto, Changri, and Gonwoo?in Jodo-myeon, with an investment of over 65 million KRW through projects such as the ‘Jindo 242 Asteroid Project’.

This project has received positive feedback for installing solar-powered safety lights along alleys frequently used by women, the elderly, and other residents.

These safety lights are eco-friendly devices that charge solar energy during the day and emit light at night, offering the advantages of being environmentally friendly and economical without the need for separate electrical installations.

County Governor Kim Hee-su stated, “The safety lights will help cover blind spots where streetlights do not reach, prevent crimes, and alleviate residents’ anxiety when returning home at night. We will continue to do our best to create a safe environment so that residents can live with peace of mind.”
