Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution PLC continues its drive against illegal gas connections.
As part of its regular operations, a mobile court led by Executive Magistrate Fazle Wahid, Senior Assistant Secretary of the Energy and Mineral Resources Division, conducted a raid in the Puran Baushia and Gazaria areas under the Jobi Area-Meghnaghat zone on Tuesday.
During the operation, authorities severed an illegal gas connection to a lime factory and seized approximately 20 feet of MS pipe and 150 feet of hose pipe. Officials estimated that removing the illegal connections would save around 12,000 cubic feet of gas per hour, equivalent to Tk 195,725 per day.
