Sources at Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited (TGTDCL) said the crisis was reported in parts of Mirpur, Gulshan, Dhanmondi, and Shukrabad, on Wednesday. Titas Gas Gulshan control room confirmed that it received complaints of gas supply shortages from Gulshan and Mirpur until 8pm on Wednesday. Disruption or suspension of gas supply in parts of the capital city is a common phenomenon whenever the temperature drops, especially in winter.
