Expressing solidarity with the government's decision, Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC's Managing Director and CEO Golam Murshed has already given instructions to be the most cost-effective in the use of electricity in all types of offices, sales outlets and service centres across the country, including the production plants of all products at the headquarters.

Thus, Walton authorities have decided to extend the weekly holiday by one day to save electricity, reads a press release.

Golam Murshed said the involvement of the private sector is essential to make the steps taken by the government successful. "With the combined efforts of all of us, we will be able to overcome this crisis," he hopes.

Therefore, even if the weekly closure has been extended by one day, we have taken planned steps in such a way that all activities including production and sales remain normal through efficiency and coordination, he added.

In terms of producing eco-friendly power efficient electronics products, Walton is a very-admired name around the world.
