All filling stations across the country to remain open 24 hours a day during Eid-ul-Azha.

The decision was made to ensure smoother travel for holidaymakers by keeping CNG filling stations operational for 13 consecutive days.

Recently, the Energy and Mineral Resources Division sent an official letter regarding the matter to the Chairman of Petrobangla.

CNG filling stations will remain open around the clock from May 21 to June 2. This means the stations will operate continuously for seven days before Eid-ul-Azha and five days after the festival, the letter added.
