Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan has increased gas supplies to Tajikistan by 2,000 cubic meters per hour, a source at the Tojiktransgaz [Tajik gas transportation] open joint-stock company has told Avesta.

At the moment, 14,500 cubic meters of gas is being imported from the neighbouring country, the source said. Of them, 9,500 cubic meters is going in the southern direction.
