Narayanganj freed of load shedding until Oct 30
Dhaka Power Distribution Company (DPDC) was yesterday directed to halt load shedding in the Narayanganj city area until the city corporation election on October 30.
This has led to afresh increase in power outage in Dhaka city.
According to DPDC senior officials, the electricity demand of Narayanganj city is 160 Mega Watts (MW), whereas it was receiving around 110 MW as per rational allocation set earlier.
To increase the supply in Narayanganj city, DPDC had to curtail power supply in Dhaka city and the adjoining areas, which will now get 750 MW power against the demand of 1100 MW, they said.
