Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (June 7) said the ongoing electricity situation will ease within 10-15 days.

She also said more electricity will be added further within 10-15 days. Then there'll be no suffering.

The premier said, "We're compelled to do load-shedding . . . I know people are suffering. I can realize the sufferings of people. We are trying our best. Some 500 more megawatt electricity will be added to the national grid within the next one or two days."

PM said this while addressing a discussion arranged by the Bangladesh Awami League (AL) at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the city, marking the historic Six-Point Day in the capital.

She said, "Unfortunately, people of the nation are experiencing scorching heat. We can't think that the temperature would go up to 41 degrees in Bangladesh."

"We're holding meetings to find ways and trying to ease this suffering," she said.

The Prime Minister said Bangladesh doesn't face this problem alone, which is caused by global reasons.

She said that they kept Bangladesh in a good position and provided electricity to each house, but the global situation has put everything to disorder.
