Wasteful use of electricity
Electricity is in short supply in India, millions here, specially in rural areas, don’t have access to regular electricity and yet it is not hard to find mismanagement or wasteful use of electricity in Indian cities, an irony that this graphic tries to convey. Many commercial centers and markets are ostentatiously lit up in urban India; during Diwali festival, buildings are profusely lit up and lighting decoration contests are held in some cities; government buildings and landmarks are sometimes lit up all night! What if electricity is used judiciously, electronic displays and Diwali decorations are put up with restraint and the electricity thus saved is diverted to rural areas?
