Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to his countrymen to voluntarily switch off lights for 9 minutes from 9 pm on Sunday and light diyas, candles or flash torchlights/mobile phones from their doors or balconies to show solidarity in the fight against the novel coronavirus.
The government has, however, warned the people to be careful. “Citizens advised not to use alcohol-based sanitizers while lighting diyas and candles tomorrow at 9 pm as it is inflammable,” Prasar Bharati News Service tweeted.
There have been apprehensions expressed in some quarters that this may cause instability in grid and voltage fluctuation which may harm electrical appliances. But the Ministry of Power clarified on Saturday that these apprehensions are misplaced.
