Khulna Power Outage
No electricity bills from August 1
Citizens' Forum reiterates


Khulna Citizens' Forum (KCF) has reiterated its call for stopping payment of electricity bills from August 1 if West Zone Power Distribution Company Limited (WZPDCL) fails to resolve power crisis by July 31.

The KCF leaders stressed the need for forming an ad-hoc committee for intensifying its ongoing agitation against loadshedding in the southwestern region of the country.

Earlier on Thursday evening, the forum held a view exchange meeting with leaders of different political and socio-cultural organisations at Khulna Press Club auditorium where matters relating to severe power crisis and the course of agitation were discussed.

The meeting was attended by Khulna city AL President Talukder Abdul Khaleque MP, Press Club President Alhaj Liaquat Ali, President of Khulna District Bar Association Advocate Mujibar Rahman and KCF President Shaikh Abdul Kayyum.
