No gas supply in Kurmitola, Khilkhet for 8 hours
Supply will be suspended from 9am to 5pm on Monday
Gas supply to some parts of the capital has been suspended for 8 hours starting from 9am to 5pm on Monday.
The affected areas include Kurmitola General Hospital, Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden, Civil Aviation Quarter, Army Golf Club and several adjacent areas, according to a press statement from Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited (TGTDCL) issued on Sunday.
Gas pressure will also be low in Khilkhet and Nikunja areas for the duration of the 8 hours. The supply disruption is being caused by the ongoing relocation of the gas pipelines to facilitate the Metro Rail construction project in the area.
