CNG stations close for six hours during Ramadan

The government has asked to keep Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations close for six hours from 3 pm to 9 pm every day.

The decision was taken to ensure uninterrupted gas supply in the power plants in the evening time during the holy month of Ramadan.

Deputy Secretary of Energy Division Muhammad Nazmul Haque said the energy division has issued a notification on Friday in this regard.

Nazmul Haque said the decision was taken due to low pressure of gas in the distribution network.

The decision will remain effective till March 14, the notification said.

CNG and filling stations will remain open round the clock from March 15 to 25 to ensure fuel supply for vehicles on the highways during Eid vacation. 

After Eid-Ul-Fitr the CNG stations will remain open as usual with closure for only three hours from 6 pm to 9 pm everyday from March 26.     �"BSS
