Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- In Uzbekistan, methane gas stations were temporarily closed due to a drop in pressure on main gas pipelines. The Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan announced this.

The ministry notes that methane gas stations were closed due to an accident on power lines in Bukhara region.

This situation led to the shutdown of 8 gas pumping units at the Gazli compressor station and 2 units at the Uchkir station. Experts are now working to fix the problem.

Because of this, the volume of gas decreased. To provide the population with gas, it was decided to temporarily close methane gas stations.
