Nation observes one-minute blackout

Bangladesh observed a one-minute symbolic 'blackout' on Friday commemorating the National Genocide Day.

The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs took the initiative to observe the blackout from 9:00pm to 9:01pm.

However, the key point installations (KPIs) and the essential establishments were out of the purview of the programme.

On the occasion, the government also imposed restrictions on illuminations at all the government, semi-government, autonomous, private buildings and structures on March 25's night.

But, lightings will be allowed from March 26 evening.
