Suspension of oxygen supply to industries to hit production The New Nation
Economic Reporter :
Industrial and manufacturing activities in re-rolling mills, glass factories and ship breaking yards will be hit hard by suspension of oxygen supply to industries due to high demand of oxygen at hospitals treating Covid-19 patients, say traders.
Following an upsurge in Covid-19 infections in the country and export ban of oxygen from neighbouring India, the government recently decided that all available oxygen would be supplied to hospitals treating Covid patients
Industry insiders fear production cut if the ban on oxygen supply to industries is prolonged.
Bangladesh Still Re-Rolling Mills Ltd Managing Director, Aameir Alihussain, told that they need more liquid oxygen as factories are being unable to convert gas cylinders due to the ban. If such a situation continues, re-rolling mills in the country will definitely be affected.
