CNG stations to remain open for 24hrs during Eid: Quader

CNG filling stations will remain open for 24 hours across the country four days before and after the Eid-ul-Fitr, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said today.

The minister said this at a view exchange meeting with the stakeholders at a temporary office of Meghna Bridge authorities in Gajaria of Munshiganj.

Quader, the general secretary of Awami League, also said holidaymakers' journey during this Eid-ul-Fitr will not be totally hassle-free but it will be at a tolerable limit.

"The upcoming Eid journey may not be totally hassle-free but it will remain at a tolerable limit," Quader said adding, "In order to ease the holidaymakers' journey, we have instructed the concerned authorities to repair all roads by June 8. If needed, the repairing work will continue round-the-clock."

Referring to the "corruption" of weigh stations, the minister said, actions will be taken if allegations of corruptions regarding toll collection are found.
