Power outage
I have marked a coincidence on our power outage problems. The situation was tolerable until the govt announced the formation of the war crimes tribunal. At once there was chaos in the power sector. Resorting to various means the power situation was stabilized. But the moment there was a meeting in Khulna, the power sector went haywire. There was "load-shedding" every 15-20 minutes, there was "Grid failure every day (at least that is what the people who, after a wait of almost half an hour, informed us that arrogantly).
Even our Honourable Prime Minister has warned of sabotage. I would like to request the govt to post special army units to look at this until August/September. This would involve maintaining load-shedding schedule and attending power generation areas so that there is no sabotage.
It may be mentioned here that while I was writing this letter , there was yet another "load-shedding", so that I had to wait for the power to return for finishing it. When the power goes off, we have no lights, no TV (so we cannot get any news), no Internet, no computer!!
