Mazumder expressed hopes that all CNG and industrial customers would come under the remote monitoring in a few days.

Mir Fazle Rabbi, manager of the engineering services department, said the state-run company had installed 40 internet protocol (IP) cameras in 20 CNG stations from Chandina to Paduarbazar.

Using the cameras, CNG stations, power plants, fertilizer factories, captive power plants, industrial and commercial franchisees will be monitored from a central server.

"The cameras will help a lot in managing gas distribution smoothly, observing any illegal interference, ensuring smooth supply, and responding to emergencies," Rabbi said.

"It will cut the supervision cost and ease the hassles of physical visits."
