Dhaka's gas distribution network will undergo a temporary shutdown affecting multiple areas of the capital city, according to utility officials. The four-hour suspension has been scheduled to allow technicians to perform critical maintenance operations on the distribution infrastructure.
The disruption will impact households, businesses, and institutions relying on piped gas supply during the scheduled maintenance period. Consumers are advised to make necessary preparations, including cooking arrangements and water heating alternatives, to minimize inconvenience during the outage.
Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and refrain from attempting to use gas appliances once the supply is cut off. The utility company has indicated that normal gas flow will be restored upon completion of the maintenance work, though restoration timelines may vary depending on operational requirements.
This planned maintenance is part of ongoing efforts to ensure the reliability and safety of Dhaka's gas distribution system. Consumers experiencing issues after service restoration are advised to contact the gas utility's customer service helpline for assistance.
