Palli Bidyut line keeps DEPZ running, consumers in trouble

Due to a lack of gas supply, United Power Generation & Distribution Company Ltd. is unable to produce and supply electricity to the Dhaka Export Processing Zone (DEPZ), disrupting production across factories in the area.

The International Workers’ Day, or May Day, was observed in Bangladesh with considerable fanfare, in step with global celebrations. Various organizations held rallies, meetings, and seminars focusing on labor rights. Everywhere, strong speeches were delivered, and hopeful words were shared.
