News Desk: State Minister for Energy and Power Nasrul Hamid has said that we have to go for price adjustment of fuel oil at some point. The state minister for power said this in an audio message sent to the media on Thursday (July 8). Nasrul Hamid said, “We have been seeing oil prices go up for six-seven months. The oil we used to buy for থেকে 60 to ৭ 61 is now 181. And it is always on the rise. ” The state minister for power said, "We have been saying from the beginning that we will go for oil price adjustment. But in our own sense we are going through this subsidy. But even then, we think we have to go through a price adjustment at some point. ” Referring to the neighboring countries, Nasrul Hamid said, “They have taken various steps in different ways due to the rise in oil prices all over the world. They have adjusted the price of oil. If we talk about neighboring India, they have increased the price of different oils by Rs 35 to Rs 50 per liter. ” "We have been saying for 10 years that gas reserves will gradually decrease," he said, adding that "74 per cent of our gas-fired power plants run on gas. We are increasing our own natural gas day by day, but it is also decreasing day by day. The mines we get from are very small. ” Nasrul Hamid said, "If we are a little frugal in the use of gas, then we will surely be able to deal with this situation. I think, if you put your trust in Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, put your trust in Awami League, surely we will be free from this danger in a short time. ”
