Power supply to Mirpur Stadium cut off
STAR ONLINE REPORT

The electricity supply of the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium was cut off on Sunday as the BCB had pending dues worth approximately Tk 1 crore.

Explaining the reason behind the dues, Bangladesh Cricket Board’s venue administrator Col AKM Zaki (retd) told The Daily Star, “There is only one electricity meter for the stadium, the national cricket academy, the 86 shops in the stadium and the sports village. We have been paying the entire bill since 2007.”

“We had repeatedly asked the National Sports Council to make provisions for separating electricity meters in order to resolve the problem. However, that hasn’t happened,” he added.

Currently the BCB is working on resolving the issue by paying a portion of the dues.

Is it supposed to be funny or sad?

[meazz1]

Sad but given BCB's track records along with dishonesty and corruptions in every govt sectors, it's kind of funny.

উনারা অন্যান্য জরুরি কাজ নিয়ে ব্যস্ত ছিল তাই বিদ্যুত সংযোগের দিকে সময় দিতে পারে নাই।

Only in Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and maybe Sri Lanka are such things possible.

It could be also that the shop owners are also not paying their due part as there is only One meter.
Btw the stadium should be connected with 11kv bus line and the bpdb just can't cut out their line without proper prior notice. What they were all smoking?
