‘I spend a bagful of money and don’t fill a bag’: the energy crisis hits Bangladesh

Bangladesh is experiencing widespread electricity shortages as rolling blackouts persist. The disruptions are linked to the regional conflict in Iran, which has constrained fuel supplies, and the country's dependence on imported natural gas. Officials say the crisis is straining households and businesses, prompting calls for diversified energy sources and increased domestic production to reduce vulnerability.
