Major General Abul Kalam Mohammad Ziaur Rahman said that one of the conditions of industrialization is infrastructural facilities, assurance of energy and continuous power generation.

"With the aim of ensuring continuous power supply to the industries and factories of EPZ, BEPZA is working to achieve self-sufficiency by reducing the dependence on other sources." He added.
