Bangladesh’s national power grid returned to operation after a disruption lasting nearly two hours, easing the electricity crisis that affected parts of the country.

The grid failure caused a sudden power outage in affected areas, including parts of Dhaka and Chattogram, disrupting normal activities and causing inconvenience to residents.

Electricity supply began returning after the national grid was restored.

Power distribution authorities are expected to restore supply to affected areas in phases, depending on local grid conditions.

The disruption highlighted the vulnerability of the country’s power transmission system and the potential for a technical fault to affect electricity supply across multiple areas.

Further details on the cause of the grid failure, the exact areas affected and the steps taken to restore normal supply could not be independently verified.
