Gas supply will remain under low pressure in 15 areas of the capital for 10 hours on Friday due to emergency repair work, Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution PLC said on Thursday.
In a media release, Titas said the low-pressure situation will persist from 10:00am to 8:00pm in the affected areas.
The disruption is due to emergency repairs on a 580-foot section of pipeline near Manikdi, which connects the Demra City Gate Station (CGS) with the Tejgaon Town Border Station (TBS). The pipeline has recently become exposed, necessitating urgent maintenance.
As a result, gas supply will remain under low pressure in Dhaka Cantonment, Gulshan, Banani, Tejgaon, Nandipara, Bashabo, Khilgaon and Banasree during the period.
Besides, consumers of all categories in areas from Rampura Bridge to Malibagh Chowdhury Para, as well as Mugda, Manda, Dhalpur of Maniknagar, Shahjahanpur and Gopibagh, will face similar low-pressure conditions, the release said.
Titas Gas authorities expressed regret for the temporary inconvenience caused to consumers.
