Two engineers of the Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) have been issued suspension order over the national grid failure that caused a nationwide blackout on October 4.
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid told reporters at the secretariat on Sunday after receiving the probe report on the incident.
He said: “The decision will come into effect today.”
“Action will be taken against others responsible for the power grid failure by this week after identifying them,” he added.
On October 6, the Power Grid Company of Bangladesh formed a seven-member committee to identify the reasons behind the national grid failure on October 4 that caused a seven-hour blackout across most of Bangladesh. The committee had three days to complete the investigation and submit its report.
