Load-shedding means daily Earth Hours
It is true that participation from India was negligible in Earth Hour, the global initiative regarding climate change (A candle in the dark, Quick Edit, April 1). However, in an altogether different way, Maharashtra (barring Mumbai) contributes to containing the consumption of electricity & thereby lessens the pollution burden. I refer to the load shedding that happens for more than 6 hours every day! There seems to be little by way of initiative to overcome this problem, despite Maharashtra being one of the most important states in India. Leading business houses seem to maintain a deafening silence in this matter.
