State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid has expressed his hope that the electricity supply in Dhaka and its adjoining areas will be normalised within one or two weeks.
Speaking at a programme at Keraniganj, he said load-shedding has increased in Dhaka and its adjoining areas following the recent power grid failure, reports BSS.
“Synchronisation power between western and eastern zones needs some more time, he said, adding, "We're hopeful that Dhaka and its adjoining areas will be free from load-shedding in the next one or two weeks".
He reiterated that stern action will be taken against the people who were responsible for the recent power grid failure.
Replying to a question, Nasrul said the government has no plan to cut fuel oil prices right now as fuel oil crisis is deteriorating globally. But he said there is no possibility to adjust the prices of fuel oils upward right now.
