Surgery under candlelight at Kumarkhali Upazila Health Complex due to power failure

Frequent power outages combined with a broken backup generator at the Kumarkhali Upazila Health Complex forced medical staff to perform emergency surgeries using candlelight and mobile phone flashlights. This public safety crisis was mitigated on August 13, 2026, by the donation of a high-capacity IPS by a local political leader to ensure uninterrupted medical services.
