Bangladesh is experiencing widespread power outages due to the sudden shutdown of several major power plants caused by technical malfunctions, the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) has announced.

In an official statement, the BPDB explained that these unexpected mechanical failures have led to an increase in load-shedding across the country.

The board expressed optimism that the situation will improve within the next two to three days. In the meantime, it urged citizens to cooperate and show patience during this temporary crisis.
