Production at several textile mills in the industrial hubs of Savar, Manikganj and Ashulia has taken a hit lately thanks to low gas pressure, causing loss to the factory owners.
Media reports maintained while underlining sources at the Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited, have said gas distribution has fallen as LNG import to the country has dropped.
Meanwhile, speaking to the media, Chairman of Little Star Spinning in Savar, Khorshed Alam, reportedly, said gas pressure in several areas of Savar– since 26 June night–has dropped sharply.
“Production at my factory is almost closed,” reportedly claimed the Managing Director at Rising Group, Mahmud Hasan Khan Babu.
Babu further, reportedly, added around 200 factories in the area were suffering from the gas crisis even if factories in the entire Narayanganj area did not get gas supply earlier for more than a week due to a problem in a gas line of Titas.
