The authorities will strictly ensure the closure of shopping centres by 8.0 pm from April 1 to maintain power load management in the capital and elsewhere of the country, reports UNB.
This was decided at a meeting Wednesday at the Power and Energy Ministry with State Minister Mohammad Enamul Haque in the chair.
Power Secretary Abul Kalam Azad, Energy Secretary Mesbahuddin and
other top officials of different sub-ordinate bodies under the power and energy ministry attended the meeting.
A senior official at the Power Division said the meeting was convened to discuss the load management in power supply during the ensuing Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination and ongoing irrigation for paddy fields.
Officials from different power distribution agencies claimed at the meeting that the power supply remained smooth in the irrigation areas according to the requirement.
But, they observed that many shopping centres in the capital and elsewhere of the country were not maintaining the government-set timetable for closing their businesses.
