Major reduction in Diwali illumination due to power crisis in the state

An energy crisis and a severe power crisis situation currently prevails across the state, due to which a major impact will be seen on the lighting arrangements during the festival of Diwali this year. Keeping this situation in mind, an official decision has been taken by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation to do lighting at very limited places across the city.

As per the tradition of every year, grand illumination was done by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation during the Diwali festivals on all large and small bridges located in various areas of the city, major traffic-bustling circles, all underpasses as well as government buildings owned by the Municipal Corporation. However, with the objective of saving electricity this year, an important order has been issued by the Municipal Corporation administration to greatly reduce the locations of lighting as well as its duration.

According to the report of Sandesh, keeping in view the severity of the presently arisen energy crisis and state-wide power crisis, a decision has been taken by the Corporation administration to completely keep the lighting at all public places turned off. According to the new arrangement decided by the administration, attractive lighting will now be illuminated in a prescribed manner only on the 6 bridges of the city situated over the Sabarmati river and the city deity Shree Bhadrakali Temple. Lighting will not be done at any other public places, underpasses or government buildings apart from these.

On the other hand, according to the report of the Meteorological Department, a Western Disturbance has become active in Gujarat, due to which there is a possibility of unseasonal rain in the state during the next three days.
