Independent Member of Parliament for Brahmanbaria-2, Rumin Farhana, told the national parliament that rural areas are facing 10 to 12 hours of daily power outages. She made the remarks on Sunday during a supplementary question session in the second and first budget sittings. Farhana also questioned why the promised gas connection to the Ashuganj Fertilizer Factory had not been provided by May 1, despite earlier assurances from the minister.
In response, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Iqbal Hasan Mahmud cited the country’s gas supply limitations. He explained that gas distribution is currently prioritized for power plants over fertilizer factories to maintain electricity generation. Mahmud added that no drilling had been done in the past 17 years, but new drilling has now begun, and gas supply to factories like Ashuganj will follow once production increases.
Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed reminded the minister of his earlier commitment to start gas supply from the first of the month and urged ministers to be more responsible when making promises in parliament.
