LAHORE : People should actively participate in observing ‘Earth Hour’ across the province today (Saturday), as per the directions of the chief minister, said Provincial Minister for Energy, Malik Faisal Ayub Khokhar.

Across Punjab, non-essential lights will be switched off from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM today (Saturday), as a practical demonstration of energy conservation, he said. The minister appealed to the general public, especially the youth, to take part wholeheartedly in this global initiative and play their role in saving energy.

He emphasised that Earth Hour is not merely a symbolic gesture but an important effort to raise awareness about the efficient and responsible use of energy. He said that, under the directions of the chief minister, the Earth Hour campaign is being effectively promoted throughout the province, while relevant depts are also conducting awareness drives in this regard.
