Bangladesh's first nuclear power plant, Rooppur, has reached criticality, marking a major milestone in the country's energy development, Tribune India reports.

The plant is now entering its power startup phase, with officials confirming that initial operations are underway after years of construction and regulatory approval, Arab News notes.

The successful operation of the Rooppur plant is expected to significantly boost Bangladesh’s energy capacity, though concerns remain over safety protocols and long-term environmental impact, per Times of India.
