Field-level work on 25 ongoing power transmission projects remained suspended since the coronavirus outbreak in China, hitting hard the power sector development.   According to official sources, most of these projects were either awarded to Chinese contractors or their equipment were supposed to come largely from China.    “Neither the Chinese workers, nor the equipment are coming from China since the pandemic hit Wuhan,” said a top official at the Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB).    He said many Chinese companies are working as subcontractors as well in Bangladesh’s power transmission sector.    The PGCB official said although coronavirus situation in China has improved, Chinese officials and workers, especially the technicians, are not coming back as the situation in Bangladesh is deteriorating. “As a result, we had to suspend the field-level works on the transmission projects,” he added.
