CNG refilling stations revert to their previous 4-hour shutdown on Tuesday as the government order on 6-hour shutdown expired on Monday.
All the CNG stations in the city and elsewhere will remain closed from 5:00pm to 9:00pm everyday from Tuesday instead of the existing 3:00pm to 9:00pm.
“We’ll follow the 4-hour shutdown schedule from Tuesday,” Zakir Hossain Nayan, president of Bangladesh CNG Association, told journalists on Monday.
He said the association leaders had a meeting with Petrobangla officials on May 16 where the authorities concerned endorsed the new shutdown schedule of CNG refilling stations.
Petrobangla chairman Dr Hussain Monsur could not be reached for comments in this regard despite repeated attempts to contact him on Monday evening.
The Power and Energy Ministry in March at a high-level meeting decided that all CNG stations across the country will remain shut for six hours from 3:00pm to 9:00pm from March 21 to enhance gas supply to power plants to boost power generation.
The meeting also decided that the 6-hour shutdown will remain effective for two months only and after the expiry of the period, the 4-hour shutdown at CNG stations will be reintroduced.
