Jatrabari gas line restored
Gas supply to the capital's Jatrabari and its adjoining areas was resumed after the damaged distribution line of Titas gas in Jatrabari was restored yesterday.
Mir Moshiur Rahman, director of Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company, said the authorities carried out an emergency repair work to restore the damaged pipeline, resuming the gas supply by the evening.
The pipeline ruptured and caught fire early hours Sunday as the piling drill of under-construction Jatrabari Flyover collided with the gas line around four metres underneath the surface.
The gas supply to the area was cut off ever since.
The eight-inch diameter pipeline, installed in the sixties in the very beginning of gas supply to Dhaka, enters into the capital at Demra carrying natural gas from Brahmanbaria field, said Rahman.
