    DHAKA: The official news Agency of Bangladesh (BSS) has issued following news release:

    The 1st unit of Rampal 1320 MG Power Plant resumed its operation on Wednesday night after a month of closure due to coal shortage.

    Anwarul Azim, Deputy General Manager of Bangladesh-India Friendship Power Company Limited (BIFPCL), also known as Rampal Power Plant, said electricity generation at the 1st unit of Rampal coal-fired power plant resumed around 12 midnight.

    "We need 5,000 tonnes of coal per day to keep one unit operational. We received a consignment of 30,000 metric tons of coal on Wednesday. Another consignment of 50,000 metric tons of coal is coming within few days" Anwarul Azim said.
