UNB, Cox's Bazar

Angry mob attacked the local power office and residences of its employees in Ramu upazila headquarters Saturday night protesting power outage. Local people, especially those who went to offer Tarabi prayers suffered due to load shedding from iftar till Tarabi prayers. After the prayers, devotees from four local mosques came out and attacked the power office and nearby houses of its employees and ransacked them. The employees, however, fled office and houses during the attack. A case was lodged in connection with the attack.
