The District Administration of Islamabad has strongly denied reports circulating about planned electricity blackouts during night hours, APP reports.

In an official statement, the administration clarified that no announcements have been made from mosques instructing residents to switch off their home lights.

“These are baseless rumors. No such instructions have been issued,” said the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Islamabad.

The DC further warned that action would be taken against individuals spreading false information through mosque loudspeakers or other means.
