Ration power to ensure stable supply to industries: FBCCI

The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) today urged the government to go for rationing of electricity to ensure its stable supply to the industrial units to help them continue production.

Load shedding has been affecting production in the industrial units, said Md Jashim Uddin, president of the FBCCI.

He spoke after a meeting with the FBCCI's standing committee on power and energy at its office in Dhaka.

The government should now prepare a short-, medium- and long-term roadmap on power and energy so that production in industrial units does not get affected for load shedding, the committee suggested.

MA Momen, vice president of the FBCCI, urged everyone to work together for overcoming the current power crisis in the country so that the production in the industrial units is not affected.

Abul Kasem Khan, a director of the FBCCI, suggested going for coal-based power production to overcome the current power crisis.
