Bangladesh got independence in 1971 but with totally shattered economy and infrastructure. Prior to that the infrastructure, especially electrical infrastructure, was mostly Dhaka based and that too very limited. District towns had fragile and very limited network. Such discrimination of wealth, economy and electricity between the two wings of the then country was unthinkable specially when the whole economy of the then Pakistan was mostly based on golden fiber that is “Jute” of Bangladesh. Other products like paper and tea were found to be less costly in the then West Pakistan (present Pakistan) though produced in the then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). What a discrimination! This massive unhealthy favouritism and discrimination had led to the war of liberation and birth of Bangladesh by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the architect of the country’s independence. It was one of the shortest liberation wars in history. During the liberation war whatever electrical network we had was mostly damaged by the occupation force.
