Energy Minister Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku told parliament on Sunday that two power stations in Bangladesh’s national grid have been shut down due to technical faults, removing about 3,000 megawatts from the transmission system. He said this disruption has forced authorities to impose load-shedding across various parts of the country, including Dhaka. The minister added that he has discussed the issue with the leader of the opposition and expects the situation to improve within two days.
The statement came during a parliamentary session under Rule 300, where Tuku explained the reasons behind the recent power shortages. His remarks followed a separate comment from National Citizen Party (NCP) convener Nahid Islam, who criticized the ruling party for alleged increases in leaders’ wealth during their tenure and mentioned personal financial difficulties.
The minister’s assurance of quick recovery suggests that the government expects the technical problems to be resolved soon, potentially stabilizing electricity supply across the country.
