Public suffering due to the ongoing fuel crisis shows no sign of easing, as most filling stations in the capital struggle to supply fuel. Even where pumps remain open, limited availability has led to long queues of motorcycles, private cars, and other vehicles.
Although octane stock has increased, supply shortages have worsened the situation for consumers.
Despite the arrival of one shipment last week and another expected on April 17, the crisis persists. Many customers report waiting up to 24 hours under a rationing system, yet still receiving insufficient fuel.
In some areas, vehicle queues have stretched up to four to five kilometers, causing severe traffic congestion and blocking parts of major roads.
The situation has left commuters, especially office-goers and motorcycle riders, facing significant hardship.
