Just 48 hours. Bangladesh will not be able to escape the darkness, the hostility with India has become too much.

The situation in Bangladesh has been bad since the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government. On top of that, the new internal government of Bangladesh has taken on the enmity of India. Hindu minorities are also being targeted there. The Chief Advisor of the Bangladesh Government, Mohammad Yunus, has taken anti-India steps on many occasions; this obsession of his is costing Bangladesh heavily in many ways. It has been dependent on India for electricity.

10 percent of Bangladesh's electricity comes from India and the neighboring country, which is facing an economic-political crisis, has no money left to pay it. Adani Power has threatened Bangladesh and set a deadline of November 7 for the payment of the dues. The outstanding amount is about $ 850 million (about Rs 7,200 crores). Which is not easy to pay for a country facing a dollar and cash crisis.

Indian companies have increased difficulties

Bangladesh is already facing many problems, and now India's Adani Group has increased the problems of the Yunus government. Adani Power supplies more than ten percent of Bangladesh's electricity and due to non-payment of dues, it has already been cut. In the payment letter sent earlier, the company had asked Bangladesh to pay 170 million (1500 crores) by 31 October.

Power supply to the neighboring country has been cut off since October 31, further aggravating the power shortage in the turmoil-hit country. According to the latest report posted on the Power Grid Bangladesh (PGB) website on Friday, the Adani Power Plant in Godda (Jharkhand) supplied only 724 MW of power against the installed capacity of 1,496 MW.

Adani Power Jharkhand is the largest power supplier to Bangladesh, followed by Payra (1,244 MW), Rampal (1,234 MW), and SS Power I (1,224 MW) plants.

Bangladesh authorities are in a state of panic after the power cuts. A senior official of the Bangladesh Power Development Board told the BBC that the payment related irregularities have been resolved and a letter of credit of $170 million has already been issued to the Adani Group.

Meanwhile, interim government's energy advisor Fazul Kabir Khan said, "We are surprised that the supply has been cut despite our increased payment. We are ready to pay and will make alternative arrangements, but will not allow any power company to hold us hostage and blackmail us."
