Strike spikes loadshedding

The country has been experiencing huge loadshedding of more than 700MW that the state-owned Power Development Board (PDB) attributed to the ongoing strike by vessels workers and employees, reports UNB. The PDB's official statistics show the total loadshedding was 701 MW against a demand for 7567 MW on Tuesday." Actually generation side is facing a huge problem for river vessel workers' strike that heavily disrupted fuel transportation to power plants. Both the public and private plants are not transporting their fuel to power plants due to strike," said PDB director (PR) Saiful Hasan Chowdhury.
