As Ramadan nears, a sudden gas pipeline crisis in Bangladesh has caused worry among Dhaka residents. Many households are anxious about the gas shortage and the increasing prices of essential goods. Rahela Begum from Old Dhaka expressed concerns over the gas disruption affecting her daily cooking routine.
Kohinur Begum from Shantinagar faced challenges due to extremely low gas pressure, making it hard to prepare meals. Uncertainty looms over whether the gas supply will stabilize before Ramadan. Reports indicate that the gas crisis continues to impact thousands of families in Dhaka.
The surge in essential commodity prices has added to the struggles of low- and middle-income families. Ansiur Rahman from Kalabagan highlighted the difficulties caused by the combination of gas shortages and rising prices. Concerns are mounting as Ramadan approaches, with residents worried about the ongoing crisis.
The Awami League attributed the gas crisis in Bangladesh to state neglect under the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government. They criticized the government for allowing a vital public service to deteriorate and described it as a failure of governance. The party emphasized that the current situation is not solely due to global factors but also reflects administrative shortcomings.
