in the chair on December 22. Of the directives, the premier asked the authorities to make Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) into a corporation like the state-owned Petrobangla. But it would take time, BPDB officials said. She also asked to take necessary steps to activate the South Zone Power Distribution Company and North Zone Power Distribution Company. The Power Division is yet to make any progress in this regard, officials said. The premier also advised the power division to form a Central Zone Power Distribution Company, which is yet to see light, they said. Series of private and public power projects are yet to get Petrobangla assurance to generate electricity as per the premier’s directive. But the Petrobangla has already confirmed the gas supply to the renewal rental power projects. As per the decision of the premier during her February visit, Sheikh Hasina asked to corporatise the Ghorasal Power hub but there is hardly any progress in this regard, insiders said. Sheikh Hasina asked to form separate company to make sure operation and maintain the public and private power projects but there is also hardly any progress in this regard. The Power Division, however, made tremendous progress in appointing officials in publicity wing, engineering and inspection and also governance and legal wing. In publicity wing, it is alleged that incapable officials who have no experience in media got appointed. Besides, it also made progress in setting up solar-based easy bike recharged units as per the premier directive. But experts from BUET already advised the power division not to encourage the bike as it has faulty in design that is responsible for road mishaps.
