On a call given by the Army officials from Vajra Corps, the Jalandhar Cantonment residents observed a blackout in the area from 8 pm to 9 pm on Tuesday evening. The markets got shut. The streetlights were put out. Public announcements were made asking people to quickly get indoors.
The drill will be carried out again tomorrow in Jalandhar Cantt as well as city areas during the same time period, said Jalandhar Deputy Commissioner Dr. Himanshu Aggarwal.
Automotive Lights—DRL/Always-On-Headlamps
There is one issue with the latest automobiles with respect to the blackout, which is the Daytime Running Lamps/Always-On-Headlamps. This can be a challenge with respect to the drill or, worse, an actual event in which the vehicles could become a giveaway clue, as these lights couldn't be turned off by the driver/rider since they have no such control.
A solution to this issue has to be devised sooner rather than later.
