However, the gas supply will remain suspended for three days in several areas of Dhaka and Narayanganj from Sunday midnight due to urgent renovation work on the gas pipeline, Titas Gas authorities informed through a circular on Wednesday.
The circular said gas supply will remain suspended for a total of 72 hours starting from 12am on April 23 to 12 am on April 26 due to emergency maintenance work on gas transmission pipelines in the Japanese Economic Zone (Araihazar), Rupganj, and Narayanganj areas.
