Load shedding during Iftar
It is no better a government than its predecessors. The CTG was supposed to set examples of capability and efficiency and clean out all corrupt practices! Now it seems that they need cleaning up badly; while we head on towards God knows where. Living behind the Gulshan First Market, our power is shed regularly without fail for the last fortnight promptly at 6:00p.m., and comes back when they wish. We break our fast and offer namaz in total darkness! This Iftar time blackout for us is religiously sustained by DESA. For the rest of the day, power availability is at the mercy of the power distribution centre. Continuous power, an essential service, has now become a scarce rationed item that brings back childhood memories of rationing in wartime Calcutta in the early 1940s! Even then, however, except during air raids, power was always there!
Does the Adviser in charge of power accept the responsibility? No, that is not in the CTG's unwritten manual of democracy which they plan to introduce!
