The Narsingdi district administration conducted a mobile court operation on Tuesday in Hemendra Sahar Mor and Chouala areas of Narsingdi Sadar upazila to disconnect illegal gas connections. The drive, supported by a technical team from Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company and secured by Narsingdi district police, resulted in the collection of Tk 260,000 in fines from two cases. All illegal gas connections identified during the operation were immediately disconnected.

According to Titas authorities, some individuals had been illegally using gas connections for residential and commercial purposes for a long time. After verification, the mobile court imposed financial penalties under the Bangladesh Gas Act 2010 and took legal action against the offenders. Local residents were also made aware of the dangers of illegal gas use, waste of national resources, and potential legal consequences.

Officials stated that misuse of national resources would not be tolerated and that similar operations against illegal gas connections would continue regularly to ensure public safety and protect state assets.
