No decorative lighting at community centres, shopping malls

The Cabinet Division has directed not to use decorative lighting on social programmes and at community centres, shopping malls, shops and households until further notice.

In a circular issued today, the cabinet division said the decision has been taken for saving electricity due to the abnormal price hike in fuel in global market.

The move comes a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina urged the countrymen not to put up special decorative lights on the occasion of social events at community centres, shops, offices and houses in order to save electricity.
