Power sector in deep crisis: Rizvi

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi today said the country‍‍`s power sector has plunged into a deep crisis.

Talking to reporters at BNP‍‍`s Nayapaltan office, Rizvi said Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader‍‍`s recent remarks on the power situation contradict what Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said on the issue.

The BNP leader said Quader claimed that hundred percent of the country‍‍`s people are getting electricity supply, but the PM a few days ago stated that load-shedding on a small scale should remain in the country.

He said people of the country are suffering from load-shedding from morning to evening even though the temperature remains at a tolerable level.
