Gas supply to major parts of Ctg city yet to resume

CHATTOGRAM, Feb 18 (UNB): Gas supply to major parts of the port city remained suspended for the third consecutive day on Monday as the repair work on the leaked gas pipeline at Halisahar could not be completed yet, causing serious sufferings to the city dwellers.

The authorities concerned of Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Company Ltd (KGDCL) could not finish the repair work on the gas pipeline until Monday afternoon as a chunk of mud collapsed again on the underground gas pipeline, forcing the workers to start their work afresh.

However, the Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Company Ltd authorities assured that the gas supply will resume by Monday.

The authorities suspended gas supply to some parts of the city on Saturday evening after a leak developed in a gas pipeline as gas started leaking out in huge volume on Akmal Ali Road in the Halishahar area during the dredging of a canal by city corporation workers.
