Advisor Muhammad Faozul Kabir Khan has said that electricity consumption in rural Bangladesh is rapidly increasing due to widespread use of air conditioners and refrigerators. “The consumption pattern has changed, leading to localized disruptions,” he noted. During the Eid holidays, national demand reached 12,000–13,000 MW. He dismissed claims that rural areas were entirely without power and assured that oil-based power plants would be activated if necessary. Khan also warned against the operation of unfit vehicles and praised overall Eid travel conditions.
