The directive comes as a preventive security measure and applies to all residential, commercial, and public spaces across the district. Notably, hospitals and the central jail have been exempted from the blackout; however, these institutions have been instructed to keep all windows and doors strictly closed during the hours of restriction.
Authorities have urged residents to cooperate fully and limit unnecessary movement during blackout hours. Local police and administrative officials will oversee the implementation of the order and take action in case of violations.
