DHAKA, June 2, 2026 (BSS) – The Cabinet Division has issued instructions to use virtual platforms for government meetings, workshops and training programmes in order to ensure savings in fuel consumption, considering the global energy situation.

Regarding this, Field Administration Coordination Wing of the Cabinet Division issued a circular today.

According to the circular, to reduce fuel consumption and ensure smooth, effective and dynamic operation of government activities, all ministries, divisions and field administrations must take necessary measures.

Priority must be given to connecting field-level participants through virtual platforms in meetings, workshops, training sessions and other programmes organised by ministries and divisions.

It further instructs that participant from district level should be virtually connected to divisional-level programmes, while participants from upazila level should be virtually connected to district-level programmes. 

The circular also states that physical meetings, workshops or training sessions may be arranged, if necessary, but in such cases, the concerned authorities must take decisions based on proper justification.

The Cabinet Division has requested all ministries, divisions, divisional commissioners, deputy commissioners and upazila nirbahi officers to take necessary steps to ensure proper implementation of the instructions.

Meanwhile, a previous circular issued on April 22 this year on the same issue has been cancelled through this latest directive.
The initiative is being seen as an important step towards fuel conservation and increased use of information technology in administrative activities.
