Electricity supply will remain suspended for eight and a half hours in several areas of Rangpur city on Friday (13 November). The decision has been taken for emergency maintenance work and for trimming tree branches beside power lines.
The information was given in a notice issued on Thursday (12 November) by the office of the executive engineer of the Shapla Chattar Sales and Distribution Division-1 of Northern Electricity Supply PLC (NESCO).
According to the notice, NESCO will keep power supply off in areas under the city's Ashratpur feeder from 8 am to 12:30 pm and from 2 pm to 5 pm on Friday.
The areas under the 11 kV Ashratpur feeder include BADC, Chakbazar, Dhakaiyapara, Salamer Mor, Kamarer Mor, Siddique Memorial, VIP Shahadat, Tajhat Mollapara, Dimla, Kanun Ghotla, Chiniyapara, Park Mor and areas adjoining Shaheed Abu Sayeed Chattar. Tree branches will be trimmed and necessary maintenance work will be carried out in these areas.
NESCO said power supply will be restored quickly if the maintenance and tree-trimming work finishes before the scheduled time.
The company expressed regret to customers in the areas concerned for the temporary inconvenience.
