Power cuts should be equally distributed among all areas

State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid has said that the government is trying to minimise load shedding from this month.

The Cabinet Division has directed not to use decorative lighting on social programmes and at community centres, shopping malls, shops and households until further notice.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the countrymen not to put up special decorative lights on the occasion of social events at community centres, shops, offices and houses in order to save electricity.

Mentioning that electricity from the second unit of Payra, Rampal power plants and 1600MW imported from India will be added to the national grid by this year, Nasrul Hamid, state minister for power, energy, and mineral resources, said, "Hopefully, the current situation will not last long."
