Prime minister’s Adviser Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury on Wednesday urged the electricity consumers to be patient for rain to experience lesser load shedding.
“If there is more rain, the extent of load shedding will come down,” he said while inaugurating the SMS-based bill payment system of Rural Electrification Board (REB) and online application system of Dhaka Power Distribution Company (DPDC) at a function in the city.
At the function, a contract was signed between REB and Teletalk mobile company under which consumers of 70 Palli Bidyut Samities (PBSs) under the REB can pay their bills through SMS.
The PM’s adviser also urged the affluent section of the society to cut down on the use of air-conditioners at their houses, saying that if an air-conditioner (AC) remains off, it provides the scope to 4-5 small consumers to get much needed electricity.
He claimed that the present government increased power production by more than 2000 MW in three and half years of its tenure.
Mohammad Enamul Haque said that the REB has introduced the SMS-bill payment system in its bid to provide better service to the REB consumers.
