It is alleged that the electricity staff are intentionally making artificial electric crisis, creating immense suffering to the inhabitants of Khulna region. As no proper action is taken against the staffs and officials of power sector by its higher authorities, they have been giving untold sufferings to the common people of south-western region, it is also alleged.
West Zone Power Distribution Company Limited (WZPDCL ) is engaged for supplying electricity at 21 districts of the south-western part of the country. Due to shut down of 6 power units, desired electricity is not being produced and as such load-shedding is causing distress in this region.
Concerned sources said, due to having old and defective lines, repairing lines and changing lines, load-shedding is going on repeatedly.
Repeated load-shedding has been causing serious troubles particularly for the students, professional bodies and journalists. Students can not continue their lessons, professional bodies can not do their works properly and journalists can not send important news and photos due to unbearable load-shedding.

Some staffs of WZPDCL do not pay any heed to the persons who give complain for electricity. Rather, they often misbehave with the common people. Besides, they shut down the electricity whimsically. Long time’s load-shedding has been suffering acutely.
On condition of anonymity, an Engineer of division-2 said, “We do not shut down electricity intentionally; we do it due to reasonable causes.”
