The Rural Electrification Board (REB) has cut off power supply to 10,950 clients in flood-affected Khulna and Satkhira districts to prevent any accident.
According to an REB press statement issued on Sunday, it has temporarily shut down electricity in flood-hit areas for safety reason as rising floodwater level may cause accident at anytime.
Power supply will be restored soon after the floodwater starts receding, it added.
Presently, the REB provides electricity for 29 million people in rural areas.
