CNG filling stations to remain open for 24-hour during Eid

The government has decided to remain open all Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations for 24 hours before and after four days of Eid-ul Fitr.

"The government is committed to ensure smooth movement of all motor vehicles during the Eid with remaining open CNG stations for 24 hours during the Eid time," Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader assured all stakeholders today at a view-exchange meeting with stakeholders at Gajaria in Munshiganj.

He expressed his hope that sufferings of Eid holyday-makers on roads and highways before and after the Eid-ul-Fitr will remain at tolerable level.

The government has been working to make hassle-free journey of all Eid makers, Quader, also Awami League General Secretary, said.

The minister made directives to repair dilapidated highways by June 8 to lessen the sufferings of homebound people on the occasion of Eid. If required, works will be continued at night side by side with daytime, he added.
