No respite from gas crisis despite pipeline repairs

City Desk :
Despite repairs to the LNG supply pipeline, the gas crisis remains unresolved.. This has made it difficult to manage the gas shortage.
Petrobangla stated that the damaged LNG terminal of Summit, after being repaired in Singapore, has arrived in Maheshkhali.
However, it may take around 15 more days to get gas from this terminal, according to relevant sources. It is hoped that the crisis will be alleviated then.
Consumers are not receiving a normal supply of gas for electricity production, industrial factories, commercial, and residential purposes.
The gas crisis is worsening everywhere. According to Petrobangla’s calculations, the country currently has a daily demand of 4,000 million cubic feet of gas, but only 2,496 million cubic feet is being supplied.
Production in all the gas companies in the country has been declining consistently over the past few years.
In consequence, the government has been trying to meet demand through LNG imports.
Due to the gas shortage, long queues are seen outside CNG stations in the capital. Industrial production is being disrupted. Homemakers are facing difficulties due to low gas pressure affecting household work.
