Bangladesh is experiencing its worst power shortage in decades. Some households and small businesses are without electricity for up to 10 to 12 hours at a time.
The government has cut energy imports due to low dollar reserves and a prolonged heatwave is increasing the demand for electricity.
The outages are affecting production in the crucial textile sector.
Al Jazeera’s Tanvir Chowdhury has more from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

@Vancqa How humane of you to call us madrassa chhap. Would you kindly define humanity Mr. Ashram Chhap? And also write the sentence properly so we can read. Observing you I’m kinda disappointed at WhatsApp university teachers.
@Riadul Kabir oh now I understand you are not even a primary teacher 🤔 poor Bengali or 🇵🇰
@Horse stop understanding too much, you’ll discover dark energy.🤦
@Riadul Kabir 🤔🙏
🤣🤣🤣So much love from Pakistan to Bangladesh.
Pakistani military and Razakars raped between 200,000 and 400,000 Bengali women and girls in a systematic campaign of genocidal rape.
It’s all due to massive corruption by the government.
Go back to porkistan 😂
U go back to ran dia.
We Bangladeshis don’t want deshdrohi community here
From general development to digital development, then hybrid development, now smart development, the victims of all these developments are the common helpless people,
China is responsible for climate change and heatwaves 🤮

The truth is. ..
Last 15 year’s illegal, ferocious K*ILLER, LOOTER, BL*OODSUCKER, pathological liar , MAFIA MOTHER
& her illegal govt not only forcefully OCCUPIED the power of Bangladesh but also LOOTED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ( 150 billions) from Bangladesh though maximum Bangladeshi bound to live under poverty.
Now HASINA ( illegal PM of Bangladesh) have no money to pay for FUEL, COAL AND OTHERS ENERGY.
If free & fair election will held in Bangladesh Hasina & her illegal LOOTER govt will not get 5% of VOTES.
Seems like Al Jazeera network runs on internet explorer. Stuation is improving from June 9.

LADY HITLER HITLER HITLER PM SHEIKH HASINA FAMILY CINEMA IN BANGLADESH 🇧🇩
Echoes of S.A Zuma, Eskom and the GUPTAS!!!
another failed nation, Another NK and Chinese puppet.
ble to participate in the upcoming national elections. So they want to go ahead with caretaker government. Because the caretaker government is actually 1) Bringing Khamba Tarek to Bangladesh as a hero. 2) Making Khaleda Zia, who embezzled the orphan’s money, an angel. Because Khaleda Zia and Tarek Zia are ineligible for election, they are standing at the feet of foreigners without being able to build public opinion in Bangladesh on the caretaker issue. BNP destroys the dignity of the people of Bangladesh
Now in bangladesh there is no alternatives except democracy to free the peoples from exploitation.
Bangladesh is being kept poverty so the current leaders can use them for poor labour. May Allah remove the tyrant 8n power.
already ok.
Thif thif
You can always ask Russia, China, Iran, India, North Korea for help… At least that’s what I’ve read in the comments on several videos. The government should ask Iran for the new missiles to bomb the population.
At last AJ+ and Bihari Tanveer got something to report on Bangladesh… 😂
congratulations, you have received 10tk.
the corruption in energy sector crippled it…
This is because of the massive corruption and money laundering by the elites. Only reason why the countrys economy is still afloat is because of the remittance money sent by our expat workers. The government is busy doing minority appeasement and political repression.
Stop reproducing
😂😂😂 impossible..
4 wives saar…not possible.
It will only get worse
I’m from Bangladesh in bd every sector is corrupted no law and no Democracy in Bangladesh 😡

Haha. u do have brain problem i see😂.why are u are toxic in every news video boomer 😂😂
I recommend tourists not to visit this garbage hellhole named Dhaka, which is the cesspool in South Asia. Bangladesh would never be progressive, gentrified, modernized and developed. Screw this country.

Nepal will export electricity to bangladesh in near future.
India already exporting.
American state of Arkansas has roughly 50,000 square miles same as Bangladesh, Arkansas has 3 million people Bangladesh 170 million , a thousand people can’t eat 1 chicken , Bangladesh has chosen to become an experiment in population density , 12 thousand years ago there were approximately 10 million people on the earth , these people are protesting corruption that might not be the problem
South Africa have had the electricity power cut for more than 8 years. They call it “load shedding”. A few and several hours of power cut every day. Business is affected. The SA government is equally corrupted. Where as the Bangladesh neighbouring country, Myanmar has chronical and intended power cut by the Junta Government. The citizens have no choice but make ends meet without the modern invention. The country is once again highly corrupted.
Bangladesh is a dirty nation of bad people. Will be under water in 25 years.
The people reproduce like fishes and insects. How can the nation survive ?
No load-shedding for the last 3 days. We are fine.
Are you comedy? 😂
Beacause it has been raining for last 3 days
@Bangladesh Watchman Mercy
What
Seriously 😂😂
@khalid Chowdhury because its raining
It happened when a country ruled by dictator without vote,

Bangladesh 🇧🇩 পারমাণবিক শক্তি ধর দেশ ছিল 😆🤣

Thanks to Aljazeera for publishing the report on power crisis in Bangladesh.
We want the resignation of dictator Sheikh hasina. He destroyed all Bangladeshi government institution like police, court etc. Now her eye to destroy the private institution as well
*She
this is Bangladesh most corrupted country in South Asia. And our prime minister Sheikh Hasina came power in 2018. Sheikh Hasina conducted vote in midnight and in morning, most of the booths no ballet paper🙃🙃
Reason: Corruption by the Illegal Dictator Government.
Disgusting, corrupted, government
In Myanmar electricity 4 hours a day
Really? 😮
No It’s fake
Thanks for preaching true news aljajira
Everything is caused for boundless corruption in the Energy sector
Agreed
We need back all corrupted money from usa,canda,dubai and swiss bank…… We pay all bills at correct time…even they increase price of power
bangladeshi need to join akhand bharat under modi govt
Kew, Gujrat ki muslim ki tara marne keleye? 😮
India should join Bangladesh under the United Bengal 😁
NOOOOOOOOO….🥴🥴😭
thank u al jazeera for this bc our bangladeshi news chanel also owned by curupted gov
Digital Bangladesh without electricity !!!
The massive corruption of dictator Sheikh Hasina and her party leaders of Awami League has brought Bangladesh into the brink of economic collapse. Hasina and her party leaders have smuggled billions of dollars abroad over the last 14 years. Awami League is also terrorising Bangladeshi people whose party leader is Mafia Hasina. We want international ban of this terrorist party and its leaders. This party is a threat to world peace, stability and democracy. There is no way to ignore this small but dangerous bug. The situation in Bangladesh is worse than Srilanka at the moment. It also proves that the development Hasina showed in paper are mere lies and manipulated. India can not escape the responsibility for the current political and economic crisis of Bangladesh. India is working to sustain the autocracy of Bangladesh for its own interest. More than 90% people of Bangladesh are against dictator Sheikh Hasina and her party at the moment. But Hasina and Indian government have snatched the voting rights of the Bangladeshi people over 14 years. Hasina is working as a puppet of Indian government. India is the biggest threat to democracy, stability and integrity of South Asia at the moment. They are even having imperial fantasies like Putin. Dictator Hasina is dreaming to conduct another fake election in the upcoming Bangladesh elections with the help of the Indian government. The future economy, democracy and independence of Bangladesh are at a huge risk at the moment.
It’s wish of Allah😂
Bad terms ,corruption and shortage of foreign exchange reserves are all responsible for the present mess in the power sector .
I am from Bangladesh. And I do feel better and happier under the current administration. Because during the terror reign of the opposition BNP. It was way too worst situation! I can’t remember when the power cut for 12 hours was on a regular basis in that BNP’s terror regime!
And today’s suffering is temporary. Otherwise, We get 24/7 hr electricity which was impossible during the reign of opposition BNP!!
Joker…80% Bangladeshi hate current regim they are corrupted
You are a clown and lap dog of fasist Hasina
Hindoo dalal detected
I doubt you live in Bangladesh or may be you are living an exponentially richer life than me Alhamdulillah!
During 2001-06 my lower middle class family could effort beef(80tk/kg) once per week, rich food once a week and to be more specific with my father’s income of around 25k my four members family could dream for a better future. This current autocrat regime has ruined many peoples dream. Sheikh Hasina aka ladyhitlers economic policy is such that it needs a portion of ita population to remain poor. That’s why this fascist regime don’t allow us to vote. Our small business + dream collapsed completely during covid. There was only one country in the world who didn’t support any small business and any small private employees and it’s Bangladesh. Everything they did during covid favored rich owners of big companies and no govt employer took any salary cuts… Stop being a blind supporter. The country’s main problem isn’t and was never the terrorists. Or may be privileged section of the society always had you these occasional catastrophe in fear you lose everything all at once. The real problems of majority percent of the population are regular sufferings to meed ends need.
All i wish we get a chance to vote. We want Nationalist to be back in power so that we re-buy our country from the influence of India also start hoping again for better future.
@Catsandkittens GalleryI live in Bangladesh and I also feel better under current government. Those who are protesting they want to make this country Islamic and we all know how the Islamic leaders are.Just look at Afghanistan
This issue has been resolved😊
কি করমু আর
The problem was solved. Thanks to government.
People are cry for the electricity 😥
Better than during BNP’s regime LOL
mafia hasina
Please save us from the dictator Sheikh Hasina. She and Govt. employees such as Police, Secretary election commission are equally sharer in the Corruption and money laundering.
Corrupt government
Bangladesh got electric??? WOW…🤣🤣🤣POOR country got electricity?? 🤣🤣🤣 Most stupid people in the world got electric??? 🤣🤣🤣
as a Bangladeshi, we want democracy,voting right and free and fair election
Bangladesh needs Shariah law like Afghanistan to solves power problems. 😊
