Clock returns to BST tonight

The clock will be adjusted back by an hour tonight to its original GMT-based timing position.
At a regular cabinet meeting yesterday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the clock will be pushed back to 10:59pm from 11:59pm midnight to set the GMT plus 6 hours timing.
She also directed the authorities concerned to take all measurers so that people do not have to suffer due to time change, meeting sources said.
The cabinet on December 24 decided to keep the Bangladesh Standard Time until March 31 next year.
On March 31, the clock would be put forward again by an hour from 11:59pm as part of daylight saving measurers and will continue till 11:59pm of October 31.
On October 31 midnight, the clock would be pushed back to 10:59pm from 11:59pm to set the GMT plus 6 hours timing.
Earlier, the cabinet approved the decision to implement DST on June 2 and it first came into effect on June 19, when the clocks went forward one hour.
The power-saving measure was taken in the wake of nagging power crisis in the country and the government claims that 200-megawatt of electricity has been saved due to introduction of DST.
Sources said Bangladesh Biman and Bangladesh Railway have already taken necessary measurers so that people do not face any problems due to time change.
