নোয়াখালীতেও একটা বিয়ে করেন, আমরাও গ্যাস চাই: সংসদে জ্বালানিমন্ত্রীকে মাহবুব উদ্দিন খোকন

A discussion in the national parliament regarding gas supply to Natore district escalated into a humorous exchange between the Energy Minister and MPs. MP Ruhul Quddus Talukder (Dulu) raised the issue of gas connections for industries and residences in Natore, highlighting production disruptions and job losses due to the lack of supply. The Energy Minister, Iqbal Hasan Mahmud, identified himself as the "son-in-law from Natore" due to his wife's family ties there, leading to light-hearted banter. He also mentioned that a previous government had halted a gas project for the region. Another MP, M. Mahbub Uddin Khokon, humorously suggested the minister marry another wife in Noakhali to ensure gas supply there as well, to which the minister responded he had no such desire.

The discussion highlights the ongoing challenges in meeting the energy demands of industrial and residential sectors in various regions of the country, impacting economic development and public services.
