Power returned to parts of the Bangladeshi capital on Saturday, nearly nine hours after a nationwide outage hit the South Asian country due to a technical glitch on the transmission line bringing electricity from India, officials said, according to dpa. Residents cheered at 10 pm (1600 GMT) when Dhaka's central Maghbazar area lightened up. "Power connection to parts of Dhaka city was restored as the engineers were trying to fix lines in the other areas," said Mir Mohammad Aslam Uddin, spokesman for state-run Power Grid Company of Bangladesh. -- SPA 20:53 LOCAL TIME 17:53 GMT تغريد
