Power supply disruption
At present after traffic congestion, power cut is the second gravest problem in Dhaka city. On a daily basis, we have to suffer at least 4-5 hours from persistent electricity disruption. However, it's no longer a new issue in Dhaka city. It's been discussed many times, but no effective measures have been taken to solve this problem. We see many experts talking about nuclear power generation, but so far nothing effective has been implemented. Are all these experts supposed to only talk on this issue or can they be utilized to fix this problem through implementing the nuclear project by means of government's direct intervention?
Now let's discuss our power supply capacity. The country needs 5200mw electricity per day but against this requirement our capacity is only 4,000mw. The sad news is that our power generation sector produces less power than its real capacity.
This is high time the government thinks about nuclear power generation on a priority basis.
