The Barapukuria Power Plant in Dinajpur has completely shut down operations due to multiple mechanical failures, including a boiler leakage, officials said on Wednesday.
Abu Bakkar Siddique, chief engineer of the plant, said, "Since this is a mechanical issue, it is difficult to specify when operations will resume. The necessary equipment for repairs is being procured domestically," he said.
According to him, all three units of the 525MW plant have been shut down due to different technical problems. Unit 1 (125MW) suffered a boiler pipe leakage yesterday, while Unit 3 (275MW) faced a pipe and bearing failure on February 15.
Meanwhile, Unit 2 (125MW) has remained non-operational for several months due to a mechanical fault. - UNB
