Bangladesh has resumed importing electricity from Nepal through India's grid line, following a multilateral agreement that also involves India. Zahurul Islam, a member (generation) of the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), confirmed that the electricity supply from Nepal began on Sunday, reports bdnews24.com. According to the agreement, Nepal will supply electricity to Bangladesh for six months, until the 15th of November,” he said. Last year, on Jun 11, the Awami League government approved a proposal to directly import electricity from Nepal. Following that agreement, Nepal supplied electricity to Bangladesh for a few days in November.
