CHATTOGRAM, Aug 22, 2019 (BSS) – The Power Development Board (PDB) today snapped nine power lines and filed nine separate cases with respective police stations in the city’s Moderbari and DT road area for non-payment of
outstanding bills amounting to TK 14.42 lakh.
The sudden disconnection of lines caused immense sufferings to the
residents of the neighbourhood, local sources said.
