Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution PLC carried out a series of raids on April 27, 2026, targeting illegal gas connections across several areas including Tongi, Gazipur, Keraniganj, Narayanganj, and Munshiganj. The operations were led by officials from the company along with executive magistrates and local administrations. In Tongi, 37 illegal connections were disconnected and about 200 feet of unauthorized pipeline were removed. In Keraniganj, an illegal factory connection was cut off, resulting in a fine of 100,000 taka and prevention of gas theft worth over 1.2 million taka per month.
Further operations in Gazipur, Narayanganj, and Munshiganj led to the removal of hundreds of illegal domestic and industrial connections, confiscation of pipes, burners, and regulators, and additional fines. In Narayanganj, illegal connections at lime and casting factories were dismantled, preventing daily gas theft worth approximately 277,000 taka. In Munshiganj, illegal gas use at a madrasa and nearby residences was stopped, with multiple appliances and fittings seized.
According to the press release, these coordinated drives are part of Titas Gas’s ongoing campaign to curb unauthorized gas use and recover government revenue losses.
