Prime Minister Tarique Rahman yesterday said the government is increasing domestic gas production, setting up LNG terminals and intensifying exploration to protect industries from losses caused by sudden or temporary gas shortages.

Measures aim to increase domestic supply, cut import dependence and keep factories running, he says

The projects aim to strengthen the country’s gas and oil reserves

Bangladesh’s gas cannot be exported—this must be a properly documented red-line condition.

But we must also address the hidden reality behind it

This dependence will only increase if we continue to become dependent on imported coal and LNG.
