Cumilla: Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institute (BSTI) today conducted a drive in different petrol pumps of the district and sealed two of them for giving less oil to the customers. The BSTI team, led by its Deputy Director (DD) Cumilla zone K M Hanif, conducted the surveillance drive in various petrol pumps in Cumilla city and Chauddagram upazila from 10 am to 4 pm.
