The transmission line tripped at 9:04am on Tuesday, said Power Grid Company of Bangladesh spokesman ABM Badruddoza Sumon, reports bdnews24.com. The transmission line glitch meant there was no power in the Barishal, Khulna and Rajshahi zones, or in greater Faridpur. “The entire area under our jurisdiction went without electricity after the grid line tripped. Although power supply has been restored, some of the neighbourhoods don’t have their power back yet. We can't take the full load right now," said Azharul Islam, managing director of West Zone Power Company that supplies power to Khulna, Barishal and Faridpur.
