About 140 million people in Bangladesh were without power on Tuesday afternoon after a grid failure caused widespread blackouts, the government's power utility company said.
The grid failed at 2 p.m., and apart from parts of Bangladesh's northwest, "the rest of the country is without power," Power Development Board spokesman Shamim Ahsan told AFP.
Power supply to all areas of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, will be restored by 8 p.m., Zunaid Ahmed Palak, state minister for Information and Communication Technology Division, said in his Facebook page.
