No power for three days!
Can you believe this? There was no electricity in my home [Mohammedpur (North), Chittagong] for three days! WAPDA (PDB whatever) people say there is a problem with the transformer. But this is not the first time! The transformer down is a very usual event in this area. It happens at least twice a week. And we need to spend night after night without electricity. You can't imagine the agony of spending such a night in this hot summer. My eldest brother and his wife have severe jaundice; we had to shift her to another place due to the electricity problem. Recently, my father had a heat stroke, and has been hospitalised for almost a week and when he was released the electricity was gone.
Is there anyone who can do something for us? How much more do we have to suffer?
