Gulf News reader Priya Rajan took these pictures early in the morning on the way to work. Rajan said: ‘Every day at 7.30am I go to work at a local bank in Sharjah
Industrial Area. I noticed that the street lights on some roads are regularly kept on until the middle of the morning, when natural sunlight is more than sufficient. I kindly request the authorities concerned to look into this issue and join hands to support a global cause. The authorities have implemented a lot of activities to create awareness among the public with regard to global warming.’
