Punjab's Amritsar district authorities have ordered a temporary blackout as a precautionary measure in the wake of increased security concerns. People were warned by a public announcement with sirens, asking them to switch off all lights and stay away from windows. Amritsar's Deputy Commissioner made a statement urging citizens to keep calm and not panic, making it clear that the blackout is being enforced due to "abundant caution" and not because of an imminent threat. "This is a precautionary measure. Switch off your lights and keep away from windows. We will let you know when it is safe to resume the power supply," stated the DC.
