Household Cooking Hit by Gas Crisis After July Fire Incident

The reduced gas flow is also affecting kitchens across the capital. Residents of Mirpur, Badda, Kalabagan, Kafrul, Mohammadpur, Kajipara, West Tejgaon market and Ram Pura report that their stoves either sputter or refuse to ignite altogether.

Low‑income families are reverting to makeshift mud stoves and firewood, while those who can afford it are turning to expensive electric cookers or LPG cylinders, further straining household budgets.
