Electricity saving campaign is going on across the country since morning. As part of this, State Minister for Information and Communication Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak turned off all the unnecessary lights in the corridor after entering the ICT Tower office on Tuesday.
At the same time, he visited most of the rooms on the 15 floors of the building, requesting the head of the office and caretakers to reduce the electricity consumption by half. Meanwhile, Palak removed the curtains and turned off the lights in the rooms where there is sunlight coming from the outside. He advised to keep the A/C off until you do not sweat or feel uncomfortable.
The state minister has given instructions to turn off the power in the rooms where there is no one. He told the present workers that electricity is a national resource. To save this, AC can be operated only for passing oxygen. No lights are needed in the corridor. If you work in this way, there will be no problem with electricity.
Palak also said, I have accepted a one-month challenge in response to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s call to save electricity and costs. But that work needs to start from one’s own house. And that’s why everyone should be aware from their own positions.
