In light of this, 'Hududgazta'minot' JSC has assured that measures are being taken to ensure an uninterrupted supply of natural gas primarily to the population and social sector facilities. 'Hududgazta'minot' JSC has readied 262 emergency teams across the republic to maintain a consistent supply of natural gas to consumers.

The JSC has reminded consumers to exercise caution when using natural gas during this period, not to leave gas stoves unattended during heating and cooking processes, to pay particular attention to ventilation systems, and to avoid using non-standard heating equipment and homemade incendiaries to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Additionally, 'Hududgazta'minot' JSC has urged citizens to use natural gas wisely, to turn off heating appliances when leaving home, if possible, not to rest in rooms where gas appliances are operating, to ensure there is no smell of gas before lighting a flame, and to contact the gas service in case gas odor is detected.

Taking the opportunity, 'Hududgazta'minot' JSC reminded consumers of the importance of timely payments to ensure continuous gas supply. Payments can be made at district gas supply divisions and local bank branches, as well as through mobile applications of all payment systems in a 24/7 mode.

Due to the expected increase in gas consumption on cold days, and to prevent queues and inconvenience at CNG filling stations, 'Hududgazta'minot' JSC requests drivers to ensure their vehicles are fueled in time. Currently, all CNG filling stations in the country operate around the clock, but changes to their operating schedule may be introduced soon in agreement with local authorities, as stated in the report.

Any suggestions, complaints, and appeals can be reported to the telephone number 1104, while incidents of gas leaks and other technical issues can be reported to the emergency number 104.
