The phrase ‘spreading the light’ certainly has a positive ring to it- but not for 82 year-old Second World War veteran, Jayant Anjarlekar, who is allegedly spending sleepless nights for over a year now, owing to a set of powerful tubelights on a private road, just outside his bedroom window that flood his house at Vile Parle East, every night.

“The sun never sets in our house, from 6.30 pm onwards, there is so much illumination coming directly into our house, till the wee hours of the morning that it is simply impossible to get your eyes shut,” said Anjarlekar, a resident of Sahavas building. He’s practically bedridden and needs support even to stand.
