CNG stations to remain closed for 6 hrs, not 5 hrs
Dhaka, Mar 13 - As per the latest decision of the government, CNG stations will remain closed from 4 pm to 10 pm instead of 6 pm to 11 pm every day until April 6 this year in order to resolve the low pressure problem in gas supply.
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid announced the new decision on Wednesday after a meeting with officials of his ministry and subordinate bodies.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Division issued a notice in this regard.
From now on, the CNG stations will remain closed for 6 hours every day instead of previous 5 hours.
On Tuesday, the timing was changed saying that the CNG stations will remain off from 5 pm to 10 pm instead of 6 pm to 11 pm.
But within a day, the decision has been changed.
Nasrul Hamid also said that the CNG stations will remain open for 24 hours from 7 April to April 18 to facilitate transport movement during the Eid journey.
From April 19, the CNG stations will remain closed from 6 pm to 11 pm, said the notice.
He announced that the irrigation pumps will run from zero hour to 6 am.
The State Minister also advised people to use LPG gas instead of natural gas as gas crisis will persist in the month of Ramadan.
Nasrul said that one LNG terminal, out of two, will remain closed which results in lower supply of imported gas to the national grid.-UNB
