A one-minute symbolic 'blackout' will be observed on 25 March throughout the country marking the Genocide Day.  

The 'blackout' programme will be observed for one minute from 10:30pm to 10:31pm in the night of 25 March to pay homage to the people who were killed in 'Operation Searchlight' of Pakistani occupation forces in the dreadful night of 25 March 1971.

However, establishments of emergency services and KPI will remain out of the purview of the blackout programme, said an official release.
