State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid has asked authorities concerned to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Ensuring proper protection, I ask all concerned to continue uninterrupted power supply. Complaints are found regarding load shedding or power outage in many areas,” he said.
The state minister said this through a video conference at his Baridhara residence in the city while holding a meeting with power division and its subsidiaries (all companies) on Monday, reports BSS.
At present, there is a demand for 9,000 megawatts during peak hours while power consumption is 6,000-7,000 megawatts on average, he said, adding: “Then why load shedding will happen?”
He asked all concerned to stand by the customers if power outage happens and urged them to make roaster duty for discharging their duties with utmost sincerity.
