No power crisis!
Your Manikganj correspondent's report published on 16 August mentions the deplorable condition of power supply there. The view is shared by all of us. Invariably, we have darkness when we need light; while electricity is drastically rationed in the form of "load-shedding"! Be it in Bagerhat,
Barisal, Chuadanga, Comilla, Dinajpur or Dhaka. Name any place under the alphabet in Bangladesh, scarcity of electric power is the fact of life!
The only difference is the number of hours that darkness prevails, in each place, because of no electricity! This is the truth of life in Bangladesh today.
In contrast, on the same day, elsewhere in the newspaper, your staff correspondent's report mentions the claim by the power secretary, at a seminar last Tuesday, that there was NO CRISIS in the power sector--an unbelievable statement!
