Gas supply will remain under low pressure in 15 areas of Dhaka for 10 hours on Friday due to emergency repair work, Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution PLC said on Thursday.

In a statement in the evening, Titas said the low pressure will persist from 10:00am to 8:00pm in the affected areas.

The disruption will occur as emergency repairs are being carried out on a 580-foot section of the pipeline near Manikdi, connecting the Demra City Gate Station (CGS) with the Tejgaon Town Border Station (TBS), which has become exposed.

As a result, gas supply will remain under low pressure in Dhaka Cantonment, Gulshan, Banani, Tejgaon, Nandipara, Bashabo, Khilgaon and Banasree for the 10-hour period.

In addition, consumers of all categories in areas from Rampura Bridge to Malibagh Chowdhury Para, Mugda, Manda, Dhalpur of Maniknagar, Shahjahanpur and Gopibagh will face the same situation, the statement said.

Titas Gas authorities expressed regret for the temporary inconvenience caused to consumers.
