TURA: The GHADC MDC representing Balachanda Constituency in the plain belt region of West Garo Hills, Sofior Rahman, has called upon the state government to reschedule the late night hours of load shedding in view of the month of Ramadan during which the Muslim community partakes in fasting and prayers.
“Government should change the current MeECL load shedding time from 12:30-2:30 am to the early morning hours, because we are facing extreme high temperatures during this month of Ramzan and it becomes very difficult as we prepare our meals during the load shedding hours of the night. We also prepare for the daily Roza (fasting) early in the morning,” stated Rahman who is also the Vice Chairman, Forest Development Corporation of Meghalaya Ltd.
