The government has decided to observe one- minute symbolic 'blackout' at night on 25 March throughout the country marking the Genocide Day.

The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs has taken an initiative to observe the blackout from 9pm to 9.01pm, according to an official handout released here today.

But, the key point installations (KPIs) and the essential establishments will remain out of the purview of the programme.
