A case has been filed against 150 unidentified individuals after an incident of vandalism at the Kendua Rural Electrification Office in Netrokona. The event occurred around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday when angry customers, frustrated by continuous load-shedding and a power outage during the Argentina–Jordan World Cup football match, damaged several office windows.

Local sources reported that since Thursday, Kendua has been facing an acute power shortage, severely disrupting daily life amid intense heat. The Rural Electrification Office’s Deputy General Manager, Engineer Md. Omar Faruk, stated that the area has about 94,000 consumers, with a peak-hour demand of 27 megawatts but only 7 megawatts currently supplied. He said the shortage and vandalism have been reported to higher authorities.

Kendua Police confirmed receiving a written complaint from the power office, naming 100 to 150 unknown persons. Police have inspected the site and said the situation is now under control.
