Severe
Load-shedding in Mymensingh
Hasan Mahmud, Mymensingh,
03 November:
Electricity is certainly a boon to the people of modern age. But it has become a
nuisance for the city dwellers of Mymensingh. Load-shedding is occurring here
every now and then. In fact, it has become a regular phenomenon here. As a
result, the people of Mymensingh are getting deprived of electricity based
advantages.
As a part of
the total failure of electricity, load-shedding is increasing day by day in
Mymensingh town. At office hours, electricity remains off. At night it also occurs
frequently. As a result, the city-dwellers have to face various troubles. The
students keep off their books and dive into gossip. The housewives get
interrupted while preparing refreshments for their family.
Alongside, business
firms, shops, and so many institutions come to a standstill for the time being.
Due to load-shedding, food and life-saving medicine kept in the refrigerators are
getting spoiled too. A housewife informs that nowadays electricity remains by
chance. Some businessmen of the town also inform us the same.
At night the
roads of the town remain dark and criminals take advantage of the darkness. It
is learnt that insufficient power plants are mainly responsible for severe load-shedding.
However, this situation cannot be allowed to continue longer.
To tackle this
power crisis head on, the government should take necessary steps as early as
possible. Besides, awareness must be raised among the people to prevent the
misuse of electricity.
Students are greatly disturbed by the loadshedding of electricity during their study hours. Educational standards are already low, and load shedding is further bringing them down.
