Long term electricity solution

As Bangladesh has been inviting foreign investors in its energy sector such as petroleum and gas, it should take the similar steps for foreign investment in electricity production units. During summer, this crisis increases manifold. Not only it makes people suffer, it cripples all economic and social activities of the country. It's surprising that government is reportedly going to spend thousands of crores on purchasing new aircraft without a proper longterm vision and mission. It may be a suicidal decision. If the government does want to help the country in true sense it should do something for its electricity and water supply projects. The government has spent billions of hard earned money on many fancy projects such as city beatification before the Saarc summit. Unfortunately it did not do anything praiseworthy for the country's essential sector such as electricity.

The government should immediately hand over its electricity production and supply to private investors. As long as this sector would allow its corrupt officials to remain a part of it, it will keep on bleeding. Let this crisis of electricity be an eye opener for the government and hopefully it will create a positive impact on its upcoming foreign investment projects.
