Petrol pump owners in Sylhet have decided to halt the sale of petrol and CNG indefinitely, citing harassment and pressure from authorities. The closure began overnight, raising concerns over a potential fuel crisis across the region.
Owners claim their long-standing demands were ignored, and they faced undue fines and administrative pressure. The shutdown is expected to severely impact transportation, including buses, trucks, and CNG vehicles, affecting both commuters and businesses.
The general public is anxious as the sudden fuel shortage could disrupt daily life. So far, government authorities have not issued any official response, leaving the situation dependent on negotiations between the two sides.
