New Delhi, March 10: Delhi and Mumbai will be leading India in observing the annual ‘Earth Hour’ initiative — one of the largest global campaigns to combat climate change — by switching off lights and other electrical equipment for one hour on March 27.
Organised by World Wide Fund for Nature, the ‘Earth Hour’ is celebrated across major cities of the world on the last Saturday of March annually to pledge support for protecting the environment.
Pledging her support to the initiative, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, herself a strong votary of eco-friendly measures, said the city will switch off its non-essential lights for one hour from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on March 27 to make the event a great success.
