In 1988, another gas pipe was installed to provide gas to the nearby houses, but the older line still had gas running through it. It was the local office of Titas which should have taken measures to disconnect the abandoned gas line, he said. This narrow gas pipe was out of use after a 3-inch radius wide gas pipe was installed 22 years ago. But the old gas line was not severed from the base, Abdul Gafur, president of Baitus Salat Mosque Committee, told bdnews24.com. What we see from the signs in the scene is that the gas pipe runs exactly beside the mosque.
