The Assam Legislative Assembly has directed its staff to switch off lights, fans, and air conditioners in unoccupied areas to reduce electricity wastage. An official order highlighted the significant electricity wastage within the Assembly complex due to appliances being left on in empty rooms and corridors. The Assembly Secretariat emphasized the need for immediate corrective actions to prevent unnecessary power consumption and additional costs to the public exchequer.
The memorandum, signed by the Secretary of the Assam Legislative Assembly, urged the Nazarat Branch to ensure that all electrical appliances are turned off when rooms or passages are vacant. This measure is aimed at promoting energy conservation principles and reducing avoidable expenditure. The directive underscores the importance of responsible energy usage and simple conservation practices to cut down electricity bills and support environmental sustainability efforts.
Governments and public institutions nationwide are increasingly focusing on energy efficiency and better management of electricity consumption in government offices. The Assembly’s initiative seeks to encourage staff members to adopt energy-saving practices and contribute to reducing electricity bills collectively. The Assembly administration will monitor compliance with the directive to minimize unnecessary power consumption in the legislature complex.
