Staff Reporter :
The gas refuelling stations in the city were kept shut for maintenance work at Sylhet’s Bibiyana gas field from Tuesday midnight to Wednesday midnight.
This caused problem in gas supply to CNG stations, said State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid on Wednesday.
Nasrul was talking to reporters in his secretariat office yesterday.
Titas Gas authorities gave an announcement earlier this week that CNG filling stations would
remain closed for 24 hours from midnight of Tuesday to Midnight of Wednesday due to maintenance work at Bibiyana gas field.
Many buses, minibuses and private cars could not refuel their vehicles.
Nasrul said, the CNG stations remained closed for 24 hours until zero hour Wednesday.
About the trouble experienced by the CNG-run motor vehicles in refuelling, the State Minister said, it was scheduled much before to keep the CNG station closed and a notice was also served to the stations concerned apart from informing the public through media.
The minister said that those using gas in their vehicles could use liquid fuel like petrol, octane or diesel.
