CNG stations to remain closed for 6hrs during Ramadan

The CNG filling stations across the country will remain closed for six hours from 5pm to 11pm every day during Ramadan.

The government has taken the decision to ensure uninterrupted power supply in the holy month.

Tariqul Islam Khan, Deputy General Manager of the Bangladesh Oil, Gas, and Mineral Corporation (Petrobangla), confirmed the matter in a press release on Wednesday.

Inspection teams will monitor the stations to implement the decision. Those stations defying the order will face legal action. 

Peteobangla has apologised for any temporary inconvenience caused by the decision.

On September 16 last year, the government directed CNG outlet owners to keep their pumps shut for four hours from 6 pm to 10 pm and then extended the timing by one hour from March 1.
