Dhaka Electric Supply PLC (DESCO) has launched a special drive from March 9, 2026, to reduce excessive lighting and promote electricity conservation across shopping malls, markets, and residential and commercial areas under its jurisdiction. The initiative follows a directive issued by the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources on March 8. On March 12, DESCO teams conducted operations in several Uttara West locations, including Jamjam Tower, Rajlakkhi, and Garib-e-Nawaz Avenue, identifying and shutting down unnecessary lighting.
The drive was led by Special Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Hadiuzzaman, who warned that further violations would result in strict penalties and fines. Market and shop owners were urged to avoid unnecessary electricity use and maintain air conditioner temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius. Awareness leaflets were distributed among shoppers, pedestrians, and shop staff to promote the government’s energy-saving directives.
Similar operations were carried out on March 11 in Gulshan-1, Gulshan-2, and surrounding commercial areas. DESCO authorities have decided to continue the campaign across all areas under its coverage.
