The government has taken initiatives to ensure uninterrupted power supply during Ramadan, the prime minister's energy advisor has said. "The power stations that are now out of production due to maintenance work will commence supplying electricity before Ramadan," Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury said Saturday. Elahi was speaking as chief guest at a conference titled 'Unified Qualitative Pre-paid Meter' at the Dhaka Biddyut Bhaban. Some rented power stations will also start working, which the advisor claimed, "will increase the total production to 4,500 megawatt (mw)." — bdnews24.com
