BNP submits memo to BPDB chairman

As part of the party's countrywide programme, BNP's Dhaka district unit submitted a memorandum to the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) chairman protesting the ongoing loadshedding and 'corruption' in the power sector, reports UNB.
The leaders and activists of the BNP unit took a position in front of China Market in the Nayapaltan area around 11:30 am amid the inclement weather.
They took out a procession towards the BPDB's Motijheel office around 12:30 pm, but police put up a barricade when it reached Arambagh crossing.
Later, the party observed a brief sit-in there, led by its senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
Speaking at the programme, Rizvi said many power plants have been shut down for lack of fuel and energey, causing serious power outages across the country.
