Five districts under the Sylhet division were without power for at least nine hours on Tuesday as the 132-KV Dhaka-Ashuganj and Dhaka-Brahmanbaria power gridlines tripped.
Sylhet, Sunamganj, Habiganj, Moulovibazar and Brhmanbaria were disconnected from the national gridline from 10:00am to 7:00pm.
A Power Grid Company official said the two major gridlines connecting the major portion of the country's eastern part tripped at about 10:00am on Tuesday due to technical faults.
He, however, refused to specify the glitch.
The technical units of the PGCB almost restored the line by 7:00pm and most of the areas of the five districts were connected with the national gridline, he said.
