The Jamuna Fertilizer Factory in Jamalpur resumed urea production at 1 p.m. on Monday, February 9, 2026, after completing repair work following a blackout caused by rodent damage to electrical wiring. The factory had been shut down since the night of February 5, when a short circuit in the power plant halted electricity supply and production.

According to factory officials, emergency repairs restored power and allowed operations to restart. General Manager (Operations) Md. Fazlul Haque stated that urea production has resumed at 75 percent capacity, with additional safety and monitoring measures introduced to prevent similar incidents. Deputy General Manager (Administration) Md. Delwar Hossain confirmed that mechanical faults in the power plant were fixed and that production will gradually increase as gas pressure stabilizes.

The factory’s management emphasized that normal operations have resumed and that preventive steps are being taken to ensure uninterrupted production in the future.
