The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) has urged people not to panic about switching off lights on Sunday night.

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling on people across the country to switch off their lights for nine minutes from 9 p.m. on Sunday to show their solidarity with those battling the COVID-19 crisis, Tangedco has advised domestic consumers to only switch off their lights and operate all other electrical instruments during those nine minutes.

In a press release, Tangedco said all precautionary measures had been taken to “face any power situation” on Sunday.

The senior officials and staff of the operation and maintenance departments across the State have been asked to be available on Sunday for immediately addressing any electricity-related complaints, a press release said.
