According to Uzhydromet, a sudden drop in temperatures hit the republic starting from February 16, with daytime temperatures plummeting from 20-21 degrees Celsius to 3-8 degrees below zero, and nighttime temperatures dipping to 11-16 degrees below freezing.
The press service further explained that the sharp decrease in temperature has led to pressure drops in the main gas pipelines across various regions of the country.
“In light of this situation, short-term restrictions on the operation of automotive gas filling compressor stations have been implemented across the entire republic. This measure is aimed at ensuring the supply of natural gas to the population and public facilities,” the statement read.
