In response to rising tensions between India and Pakistan, the Ambala district administration in Haryana has ordered a complete blackout from 8 PM to 6 AM. District Magistrate Ajay Singh Tomer issued the order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, citing intelligence inputs warning of a possible air strike threat from Pakistan. The use of inverters or generators for outdoor lighting, including on billboards and streetlights, has been strictly prohibited. However, limited indoor use is allowed, provided all windows and doors are fully covered with thick curtains to block light. The order will be disseminated through public announcements and notices across key government locations in Ambala. Violators will face prosecution under Section 223 of the BNSS. The Superintendent of Police has been tasked with ensuring strict compliance. Blackout in Rajasthan: 7-Hour Blackout During Civil Defence Mock Drill in Barmer Amid Rising India-Pakistan Tensions.
