Amid concerns over the impact of ongoing war in Middle East, crowds continued to gather at fuel stations across Bangladesh today as people rushed to purchase fuel.
Fearing a possible supply shortage and price hike due to the ongoing war situation in the Middle East, many vehicle owners are filling up their tanks in advance.
As a result, drivers across the country have been seen waiting in long lines at various fuel pumps.
In some places, fuel sales have been temporarily suspended due to excessive pressure.
Drivers alleged that fuel is being stockpiled to create an artificial shortage.
Meanwhile, oil depots remain closed as usual on their weekly holidays on Friday and Saturday.
