The Department of Fire Service and Civil Defence has reduced its patrol duty to 24 important spots from 92 as part of austerity measures and to save 20 percent of their allocated fuel.

In an order signed by Director Lt Col Zillur Rahman, it also said that all sorts of transportation will be limited through coordination.

Besides, all deputy directors will conduct meetings virtually to reduce movement on roads.
