Dhaka: On August 22, a government official said that Bangladesh would close schools for one extra day a week and cut office timings by an hour to save power. The South Asian country last month shut down all 10 of its diesel power plants after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine drove up the cost of imported fuel. Bangladesh began daily two-hour power cuts last month, but many parts of the country go without electricity for much longer.
