Staff Reporter:
Gas supply in areas under Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution PLC, including Dhaka and its adjoin-ing districts, has experienced a severe pressure drop that is expected to continue for more than 24 hours, the company said on Sunday.
In a statement, Titas said one of the floating terminals supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) remains temporarily shut down due to maintenance work.
The suspension of one terminal has significantly reduced the volume of reloading gasified LNG being fed into the national grid, leading to a sharp decline in supply pressure across Titas-served areas.
As a result, consumers in Dhaka and nearby districts are facing acute low gas pressure.
Titas authorities said residential, commercial and industrial consumers will continue to experience low gas pressure at the end-user level until 12:00am on February 16.
Gas supply is expected to gradually return to normal once maintenance work at the LNG terminal is completed, the company said, expressing regret for the temporary inconvenience caused to customers.
