Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Urges Citizens to Switch Off Lights for Earth Day Awareness
Apr 22, 2025
On the occasion of Earth Day, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Smt. Rekha Gupta, made a heartfelt appeal to the citizens of Delhi to join a symbolic action for the environment. She urged everyone to switch off their electricity for just five minutes — from 8:00 PM to 8:05 PM on April 22 — to show commitment toward a greener and more sustainable future.
This simple act is meant to raise awareness about energy conservation and the impact of our daily choices on the planet. By encouraging residents to pause and reflect on their energy use, the initiative also serves as a reminder of the power of collective action. While the lights go out for a brief moment, the message is clear: small steps by many people can create big changes for the environment.
Earth Day is globally observed to promote environmental protection and climate action. Delhi's leadership in promoting such symbolic and meaningful efforts sends a positive message about responsible urban living and sustainability. Citizens are encouraged to not only take part in the event but also consider making energy-saving a habit in their everyday lives.
