          Habiganj,
          Nov 14 (UNB) – A 10-megawatt power plant will be set up at
          Shayestaganj to resolve the persisting power crisis in tea gardens of
          the Habiganj and Moulvibazar districts. 
           
          
           
          The
          new power plant will be installed with financial assistance from Palli
          Bidyut Samity. 
           
          
           
          Officials
          said production in tea gardens of the two districts is being hampered
          due to severe power crisis. 
           
          
           
          PDB
          can only supply 12-13 mw power to the two districts against the demand
          for 25/26 mw during the peak hours. 
           
          
           
          The
          Palli Bidyut Samity will distribute power from the plant through its
          seven substations.
