Gas supply will remain suspended for eight hours in several areas of Dhaka on Thursday due to pipeline relocation and tie-in work under the Dhaka Elevated Expressway project, Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited said.

According to a notice issued by Titas Gas, the supply will be suspended from 1:00pm to 9:00pm on September 10 in Basabo, Khilgaon, Madartek, Shahjahanpur, Sipahibagh, Tilpapara, Malibagh, Shantibagh and Taltala Market and adjoining areas.

The interruption is required to facilitate the installation of valves on both sides of the railway tracks at the Shahjahanpur railway crossing and the tie-in work for relocating a distribution pipeline as part of the Dhaka Elevated Expressway project.

The temporary suspension will affect residential and commercial customers in the specified areas.

Titas Gas also said customers in surrounding areas could experience low gas pressure during the work.

The gas distribution company apologised for the temporary inconvenience caused to its customers and other stakeholders.
