Strangely enough, although the government is unable to meet power needs, it pays thousands of crores to government and private power plants as fixed charges or capacity charges every month with taxpayers’ money.
Some parts of Dhaka will experience power disruption for the next seven days due to maintenance work of transmission system, said a press release of power division
What impacts will the recent electricity price hike bring, in the context of the ongoing inflation?
Given the energy crisis, the youth have been experiencing a myriad of issues.
Gamers operate on a different league of insanity when their monitors suddenly go dark in front of their eyes.

Some say that living in Dhaka is not easy and for those who have lived here for years, nothing is easy. In fact, living in this city makes it easier to tolerate any other inconvenience with a hair-flip. Someone spat inches away from your feet? Tolerate. It landed on you? Wipe and move on. The world might have a fancy word like noise pollution for needlessly honking cars but we know it for what it really is — soothing white noise that one could even fall asleep to. Which happens often, during the long respites the city graciously bestows on us to and from work every day without fail. We lovingly call them traffic jams.
The lack of transparency in the energy sector is costing the nation dearly.
Industries, already under huge pressure for the fall in gas supply and higher input costs, have been hit with power outages in the last few days, which have raised the production cost and may force factories to cut output.
