Power situation will be normal in next 10-15 days: PM

 

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said that due to the addition of more electricity to the national grid, the ongoing electricity situation will be normalized in the next 10-15 days.

He said, "We are forced to do load shedding. I know people are suffering, I can understand people's suffering. We are trying our best. Another 500 MW electricity will be added to the national grid in the next couple of days. More power will be added in 10-15 days. Then there will be no more suffering.

He said this while addressing the chief guest at the discussion meeting organized by Bangladesh Awami League at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center in the capital on the occasion of the historic 6-point day.

The Prime Minister said, unfortunately this time people have to endure extreme heat which is unusual. We could not have imagined that the temperature in Bangladesh would rise to 41 degrees.

He said, there is no rain, it has increased the suffering. "We have been sitting in meetings again and again to find a way and try to ease this suffering.

The Prime Minister said that Bangladesh alone is not facing this problem caused by global causes.

He said, they kept Bangladesh in a good position and provided electricity to every house, but the global situation upset everything.
