Palli Bidyut Samity workers faced a chase by local residents while trying to repair a 33 KV power line fault in Hossainpur, Kishoreganj. Repair work later began with police assistance.
Power disruption occurred Saturday night around 2 AM. Since then, nearly 60,000 customers in the upazila remained without electricity until Sunday night. Due to the power outage, common people suffered in daily chores including collecting drinking water and cooking in intense heat.
Md. Sohel Rana, Deputy General Manager of Kishoreganj Palli Bidyut Samity's Hossainpur Zonal Office, stated that power supply was cut off due to a heat shrink problem in the 33 KV underground cable in Dhuliarchar area of Sadar upazila. Later in the morning, when workers went to repair the underground cable, local residents panicked due to a loud noise and chased them.
