Govt withdraws decision on 4-hour gas rationing in industries

The government has withdrawn its decision to suspend gas supply to industries for four hours every day.

State-owned Petrobangla in a press release on Thursday announced the new decision saying that it will come into effect from April 22 (Friday), reports UNB.

Earlier on April 11 the Petrobangla said that the gas supply will remain suspended for four hours from 5 to 9 pm every day for 15 days from April 12.

Sources said the new decision came at the request of the industry owners.

Earlier, the Petrobangla had instructed all the CNG refuelling stations to keep those closed for six hours from 5 to 11 pm every day during the Holy Ramadan to facilitate gas supply to household consumers and power plants.
