People urged to limit use of light, ACs to save on electricity Staff Correspondent The government on Thursday made an appeal to the people to keep at least one light switched off and to limit the use of air conditioners at their residences, offices and shops to get some respite from nagging power outages. The country's power generation dropped further in the last two days to around 3490MW from the March average of 3770MW as four old units of Ghorashal, Shikalbaha, Shahjibazar and Khulna power plants were shut down because of technical problems.
