Bangladesh faces mobile disruption as fuel crisis hits telecom towers

Bangladesh's deepening power and fuel crisis is severely straining mobile networks, with millions at risk of losing reliable connectivity.
Operators report that prolonged outages—lasting up to eight hours a day in rural areas—are crippling telecoms infrastructure and leaving backup systems overstretched.
The disruption is affecting more than 185 million mobile users and hitting critical sectors including healthcare, banking and emergency services.
In places like Dhamrai, a small town near Dhaka, residents struggle to make calls or access the internet as frequent power cuts leave mobile towers without electricity.
