A technical fault at one of the floating LNG terminals in Maheshkhali has triggered a severe nationwide gas shortage, disrupting industrial production and causing widespread hardship for businesses and consumers alike.
The gas crisis continues to affect industries and households across the country.
In Gazipur's industrial belt, factories are still struggling with inadequate gas pressure, leaving washing plants operating well below capacity.
Garment, ceramic and textile manufacturers are also facing severe shortages, with production disrupted at many facilities.
Meanwhile, in Narayanganj, the shortage has left most CNG filling stations virtually out of service.
Long queues of vehicles have formed at the few stations operating on a limited basis.
Drivers and passengers of CNG-powered vehicles are enduring hours of waiting, only to find supplies insufficient to meet demand.
