Most district authorities in Punjab have said that blackouts will be imposed based on real-time alerts from the Army or Air Force.
Amid escalating tensions along the India-Pakistan border following Operation Sindoor, authorities in Punjab’s Gurdaspur ordered a district-wide blackout starting Thursday night. Meanwhile, the deputy commissioners in six Punjab border districts imposed a ban on the use of fireworks.
The deputy commissioner of Gurdaspur issued an order on Thursday, saying that a blackout will be held in the district from 9 pm to 5 am, starting tonight, until further orders. However, no blackout will be conducted in cantonment zones or military areas.
