Gas and power crises are creating hurdles in industrial production of the country by raising the cost of production.
Industries in areas such as Savar, Tongi, Gazipur, Narayanganj, Narsingdi, Comilla, Chittagong, Faridpur and Khulna are facing power disruption or low pressure of gas for past few days.
The industry situated in Faridpur district is facing five to six hours of power disruption and knitwear factories at the Narayanganj have been facing low pressure of gas, resulting in less production.
Many factories are compelled to generate electricity with diesel-fired generator because of constant power cuts.
