A one-minute symbolic 'blackout' will be observed tonight throughout the country marking the Genocide Day.

The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs has taken the initiative to observe the blackout from 9pm to 9.01pm, according to an official handout.

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

On the occasion, the government has also imposed restriction 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.

All the people and concerned public-private organizations have been requested to observe the programme.
