Gas supply to several Dhaka areas to be disrupted tomorrow

There will be no gas supply in several areas of Dhaka city for up to six hours tomorrow, as the gas distribution company is undertaking pipeline relocation work.

In a statement, Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company said that supply will remain suspended from 10am to 4pm tomorrow at Tejkunipara, Tejgaon Girls' School, Karwan Bazar, Christian Para, Sonargaon Hotel and Kathal Bagan.

Other areas to be affected by the supply disruption are Dilu Road, Paribagh, eastern side of Sonargaon road and western side of Kataban.

According to Titas, supply will be disrupted to facilitate relocation of a gas pipeline from Tejgaon Rail Crossing to Sonargaon Hotel. Adjacent areas of the affected locations may also experience low pressure in supply for the same reason, it said.

"Pipeline relocation is part of a route alignment of utilities under the Dhaka Elevated Expressway Project," the company added.
