Power crisis looms large

Power crisis has already led our government to an unwanted and unexpected situation when people were being killed at Kansat due to a movement demanding uninterrupted supply of power. It is well-known that a modern society cannot pass even a single day without electricity. So power crisis hampers our booming economy. As an agricultural country our Irri and boro production is completely dependent on water. But without electricity we can't have irrigation facilities and thus power crisis poses a threat to our agricultural development.

On the other hand, power crisis is a great blow to our industrial sector, especially the garment industry.

The blackout has already triggered a storm of anger.
