\nIt is known that for a long time, a lime factory and foundry had been illegally built in the Dighirpar area of \u200b\u200bthe municipality and the Bhabanathpur area of \u200b\u200bthe municipality without the attention of the local administration. Gas worth about 20 lakh taka was stolen every month and used in these factories. Mobile courts were run in the area based on secret information.

\nEngineer Shabiul Awal, Sonargaon Zone Manager of Titas Gas Transmission Distribution Company, said, “After August 5, a group under the umbrella of political leaders illegally connected government gas resources and built lime and casting factories.
