Gas supply will remain suspended for eight hours in several areas around the capital on Tuesday (August 25) as Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company carries out emergency repair work.
According to a notice issued by Titas Gas, the suspension is necessary to replace a leaking outlet valve under the Pangaon Valve Station.
Gas supply to all categories of customers in Zinjira, Doleshwar, Pangaon and parts of Keraniganj will remain suspended until 7pm.
Gas flow through pipelines and connections in the affected areas will be completely halted during the scheduled period. Customers in surrounding areas may also experience low gas pressure, the authorities said.
Titas Gas apologised to customers for the temporary inconvenience caused by the emergency maintenance work.
The company said gas supply is expected to return to normal within the scheduled timeframe once the repair work is completed.
