Bhubaneswar: The Energy Department of Odisha has urged the people of the State to observe Earth Hour on Saturday.
Every year, at 8:30 pm on the last Saturday of March, supporters in over 190 countries and territories unite, taking action on and raising awareness of the issues facing our one home.
The event encourages individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off non-essential electric lights, for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Let’s switch off power for an hour today from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm to join the global community in observing Earth Hour. @CMO_Odisha @IPR_Odisha @SecyChief pic.twitter.com/VCEpRLFT1S

Started in 2007 by WWF and partners as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney to raise awareness of climate change, Earth Hour is now one of the world’s largest grassroots movements for the environment.
