Electricity, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Iqbal Hasan Mahmud and State Minister Anindya Islam Amit held a meeting with officials and employees of the Rural Electrification Board (REB) on Monday at the Brigadier Sabihuddin Ahmed Auditorium of the organization. The meeting was chaired by REB Chairman Major General S M Zia-ul-Azim, with Power Division Secretary Farzana Momtaz also in attendance.

She also instructed submission of new project proposals to develop a modern and sustainable distribution system.
