Power shortage in Bashabo

Over the last few years, the government has, to its credit, been able to increase power generation and expand distribution, all the while reducing power loss considerably. However, residents of Bashabo area of Dhaka experience power supply disruption too often. It's because, as we are told, the distribution sub-station in Taltola is running very inefficiently.

Being a Bashabo resident, I called on the Dhaka Power Distribution Company, which is responsible for power supply in Bashabo and adjacent areas, to do their job and fix the Taltola sub-station, and provide the residents with improved electricity service.
