Press Trust of India / New Delhi Jan 26, 2010, 14:14 IST

New Delhi, Jan 26 (PTI) The Republic Day celebrations in the capital were fogged out today reducing the visibility to near zero level and depriving spectators of a clear view of the spectacular parade.

The fog suddenly started to descend at around 8 am on the Rajpath, where President Pratibha Patil, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other dignitaries gathered at the saluting dais.

The dense fog deprived the spectators of a clear view of the magnificent parade, which showcased the country's cultural diversity and military might.

Four Mi-17 helicopters, which were scheduled to shower flower petals on the spectators, failed to do so due to the weather conditions.

Strong winds added to the chill and the minimum temperature was recorded at 9.4 degree Celsius as against yesterday's 10.3 degrees.

The Weatherman has yesterday predicted that Republic Day morning may be foggy.

Every year on 1st January people make New Year resolutions. In the same way we should make some resolutions dedicated to nation on national festivals. LPG conservation can be a good resolution today. With every cylinder of LPG nation looses 11 dollars about Rs. 500. Government looses Rs. 500 to be paid as a subsidy. Consumer looses Rs. 300 as he can use solar cooker on three hundred sunny days a year which gives energy equal to one cylinder of LPG in Rs. 50 instead of subsidized price of at Rs. 350. Oil companies loose Rs. 300 per cylinder. Environment gets green house gases. So LPG conservation and or maximal replacement of it by solar thermal energy or induction electric cooking is win win situation for all. Almost same is the case with use of kerosene. Will some national leader or personality amongst top 100 will listen to me and will take pledge that he will use 10% less LPG or kerosene this year and ask the fellow citizen for the same in India.
