The Cabinet Division of Bangladesh has issued new directives to ensure responsible electricity and energy use among government employees. The circular, released on Sunday, requires officials to remain in their offices from 9:00 to 9:40 a.m. each working day and to adopt energy-saving practices. Offices must maximize natural light, limit use of lights, fans, and air conditioners, and maintain air conditioner temperatures at or above 25 degrees Celsius. All electrical equipment must be turned off after office hours, and vigilance teams are to be formed in every department to monitor compliance.
In a separate circular, the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources defined the duties of tag officers assigned to fuel stations nationwide. These officers are responsible for supervising fuel receipt, storage, and sales, verifying quantities, and ensuring accurate recordkeeping. They must inspect dispensing machines, confirm stock updates three times daily, and report any irregularities with geo-tagged evidence. The officers also have authority to enforce compliance, including issuing warnings or temporary suspensions for violations.
The directives aim to promote energy efficiency in public offices and strengthen oversight of the country’s fuel distribution system.
