Time for a Power Cut Again!

by Many a, XU C

Talking about Ghaziabad specifically Burgeoning population, booming industries, sprawling

malls; all these have one thing in common—they guzzle electricity. Till now, the
government has been providing them the much-needed power by cutting down electricity
meant for households and villages but for how long?
Unfortunately, power supply has been limited in contrast to our demand which know no
boundaries. Till the time government works out a long-term solution in terms of nuclear
energy, we as responsible citizens should make the judicious use of electricity. Here’s a slew
of measures that can be taken.
Switch off all lights, fans, coolers, ACs and geysers immediately after use. One must avoid
unnecessary and extravagant display of lights, especially on marriages and other functions.
Everyone must make optimum use of sunlight by using solar lamps, geysers and coolers.
Moreover, light fixtures must be kept clean and dirt free so that there is no wastage of
power. As citizens of a responsible country, theft of electricity should be prevented and pay
electricity bills regularly.
Pledge together to SAVE ELECTRICITY NOW.
Remember, it’s now or never!
