PM urged citizens to stop decorating buildings with lights in order to save electricity

The effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine have made the energy market extremely volatile. In such a situation, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged not to decorating buildings with lights in order to save electricity.

MM Imrul Kayes, Assistant Press Secretary to the Prime Minister made the announcement on Wednesday (July 6th).

"Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called upon the people of the country to refrain from lighting various social events, community centres, shopping malls, shops, offices, courts and homes in order to save electricity in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war and US-Europe economic sanctions," her message read.

Earlier on Tuesday, she called upon all to be cautious in using electricity, make savings and grow more foods in view of the global trend of price spiral, power scarcity and looming food crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war.
