I was approaching the Qanat Al Qasba roundabout after Al Taawun Mall in Sharjah when I noticed the street lights were turned on in the afternoon.
It was a very shocking sight as any little child knows how bright our UAE is at 3.30pm in the month of May.
In a city were we are trying to save energy and run initiatives to turn off the lights for an hour, this is a very careless act.
I personally think the street lights should be turned on only after 5.30pm. Earlier only if required in certain pitch black areas.
