CNG refueling stations to open 24/7 during Eid
The government has decided to keep CNG refueling stations open round the clock for seven days before and five days after the Eid-ul-Fitr.
The decision was taken at meeting at the Secretariat arranged for determining what to do to take effective steps for making people's journey safe and uninterrupted on road and highways during Eid.
After the meeting, Road Transport and Highways Division Secretary Nazrul Islam on Thursday disclosed the matter.
UNB adds: Islam claimed that the condition of roads is better than before and that the authorities concerned will take steps immediately if there are any issues.
"There won't be any public suffering on the road [during the Eid holidays]," he said.
"Trucks won't be allowed on highways for three days before and after the Eid."
Drives will be conducted for checking ticket prices and monitoring the ticket counters, Islam said.
Three vigilance teams will work at three big bus stations of the city and a control room will be opened at the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority for checking unfit vehicles, the secretary added.
