Dhaka: In order to cope with the situation created by the instability of fuel oil in the global market, Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) has decided to reduce fuel consumption by 50 percent. This decision will be applicable to all officials including the Chairman and the Managing Director (MD) of PKSF, said a press release here today.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, several steps have been taken in the existing situation to use public transport instead of office vehicles and to conduct official activities in the most energy-efficient way possible. As part of these measures, PKSF officials at all levels will use public transport instead of office vehicles to commute for official work in Dhaka and outside Dhaka.
In addition, instructions have been given to use air conditioners (AC) in office buildings to a limited extent and to exercise restraint in electricity consumption.
