গ্রিড বিপর্যয়ে ঢাকা-চট্টগ্রামের বড় অংশে বিদ্যুৎ নেই

A grid disruption at 12:43 pm on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, cut power in eastern Dhaka and parts of Chattogram, and according to Dainik Sangbad also Sylhet and Cumilla districts, with the outage described as affecting four divisions. Power Grid Bangladesh PLC said the cut followed an unexpected disturbance and that the technical cause was not yet known; Dainik Sangbad, citing the company, attributed it to sudden load and frequency fluctuations on the Bhulta substation transmission line. Affected areas named include Bhulta, Haripur, Siddhirganj, Gulshan, Rampura, Ulon and Motijheel. The Secretariat, Bangladesh Bank and the Press Club were without power. The Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources said power was being restored on an emergency basis and most areas were back; engineers and the Dhaka distributor DPDC said restoration was under way in stages. Power Grid said the north and other areas were operating normally. Bangladesh Power Development Board chairman Md. Rezaul Karim said grid repairs were continuing.

Where accounts differ. Dainik Sangbad alone reports the Bhulta substation load and frequency fluctuation cause and extends the outage to Sylhet and Cumilla, while Manab Zamin and Daily Manobkantha describe the cause as unknown or mechanical and do not mention those districts.
