DMCH snaps 140 illegal electricity connections


Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) authorities yesterday snapped at least 140 illegal electricity connections, which were being used by commercial establishments adjacent to the hospital.

The business enterprises, including drug stores and 123 shops at a Dhaka City Corporation market, had long been using electricity through illegal connections from the DMCH, hospital sources said. These establishments are located on the roadside from DMCH emergency gate to Chankhar Pool area.

A DMCH team led by its Director Brig Gen Sarkar MA Matin conducted the drive against the illegal electricity users. The team also seized the electrical cables used in these establishments.
