Erratic power supply
A couple of days ago, I was having online conversation with one of my friends in Sweden and he told me, “Does it really take 37 years to solve the problem of power crisis?” All I could tell him is that due to inefficient governance we always lag behind. We never had someone who could aggressively work for the betterment of the country. Today, even after 37 years of independence, when we look at our nation all we can see is that all kinds of infrastructures are falling apart.
We have now severe problems with water, security, gas and electricity. Many experts once said that Bangladesh was floating on gas. And now the country is thinking of importing it!
It is being predicted that there will be even more power shortage in near future because there is shortage of gas and coal to generate electricity and it is too difficult for a developing country like us to import diesel at high prices to generate power.
Has any government taken any worthwhile steps to reduce power failure?
