The District administration in Punjab’s Amritsar started the blackout process again in the wee hours of Thursday, hours after the mock drill saw lights go out in the city.
According to a statement by the district public relations officer (DPRO), the blackout was purely out of ‘utmost caution’. The residents have been asked not to panic and to stay inside their homes.
“Taking utmost caution, the Amritsar district administration has again started the blackout process. Please stay at home, do not panic, and do not gather outside your houses; keep the outside lights switched off,” the statement quoted by ANI stated.
The precautionary measure comes just hours after the nationwide mock drills to check security preparedness were held at the orders of the ministry of home affairs. The resumed blackout in Amritsar was also part of the same nationwide civil defence drill.
