Cabinet Secretary Nasimul Ghani briefed the journalists at the media centre of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban. However, emergency services such as kitchen markets, food outlets and pharmacies will remain outside this directive. The decisions were taken at the cabinet meeting held at the Cabinet Room in the Parliament Secretariat here on Thursday night. The meeting issued a directive to reduce unnecessary travel expenses by 30 percent, the cabinet secretary added. Noting that imports from alternative sources are also being increased to maintain normal fuel supply, Ghani said initiatives have already been taken to import fuel from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan.
