Bangladesh is experiencing its worst power shortage in decades. Some households and small businesses are without electricity for up to 10 to 12 hours at a time.
The government has cut energy imports due to low dollar reserves and a prolonged heatwave is increasing the demand for electricity.
The outages are affecting production in the crucial textile sector.
