Gas crisis haunts Gazipur garment factories as well
An acute gas crisis has continued to severely impact production in textile and garment factories not only in Narayanganj and Narsingdi but also in the country s largest industrial belt of Gazipur and Maona.
Factory owners in the latter two said they have been losing production and incurring financial losses for over six months.
Yesterday the gas pressure was so low in some places that production had been put on hold. In places where the pressure was a little bit high, factories could not run in full swing.
Nearly 500 textile, spinning, dyeing, finishing and weaving mills have been impacted in the industrial belts of Narayanganj, Narsingdi, Madhabdi, Maona, Bhabanipur and Kanchpur.
