Sylhet is grappling with a severe power crisis due to the 10-day shutdown of the 25MW Kumarghat Power Station. A transformer fire led to the closure, and repairs are delayed as critical components must be imported. Residents are suffering from long daily power outages. The city relies entirely on the national grid, and supply disruptions from Dhaka have worsened the situation. Officials say there's no immediate fix, with a 33% electricity shortfall last Thursday. The situation is deteriorating with no clear resolution in sight.

Kumarghat Power Station Shut Down for 10 Days: Severe Power Crisis in Sylhet

Sylhet is experiencing an extreme electricity crisis that has persisted for over two weeks. Residents of the city are enduring prolonged power outages daily, with no relief in sight. The primary cause of this situation is the shutdown of the 25-megawatt power station under the 132/33 kV Kumarghat Grid Substation, which has been out of operation for the past 10 consecutive days.
