Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau.

Of course, it is surely not the first time they have been devoting themselves to the prayers. They liked it; perhaps it’s a sign of fear of the Almighty taking himself more seriously.

Meanwhile, it has been lately reported that Iceland, Sweden, and Norway will have the longest fasting hours, with some places fasting for up to 20 hours and 30 minutes.
