Have patience, PM’s Adviser to power consumers
Dhaka, May 30 (UNB) – Prime Minister’s Adviser Dr. Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury on Wednesday urged the electricity consumers to be patient for rain to experience lesser load shedding.
“If there's more rain, the extent of load shedding will come down,” he said while inaugurating the SMS-based bill payment system of the Rural Electrification Board (REB) and online application system of Dhaka Power Distribution Company (DPDC) at a function in the city.
State Minister for Power and Energy Mohammad Enamul Haque, Power Secretary Abul Kalam Azad, REB chairman Brig Gen Moinuddin and DPDC managing director Nazrul Hasan also spoke at the function.
At the function, a contract was signed between REB and Teletalk mobile company under which consumers of 70 Palli Bidyut Samities (PBSs) under the REB can pay their bills through SMS.
The PM’s Adviser also urged the affluent section of society to cut down on the use of air-conditioners in their houses, saying that if an air-conditioner remains off, it provides the scope to 4-5 small consumers to get the much-needed electricity.
He claimed that the present government has increased power production by more than 2000 MW in the last three and half years of its tenure.
Mohammad Enamul Haque said the REB has introduced the SMS-bill payment system in its bid to provide better service to the REB consumers.
