Dhaka, Mar 25 (V7N) – A severe fuel crisis has gripped the capital, causing widespread suffering for residents as most filling stations remain closed and long queues form at those still in operation.

On Tuesday night, many people were seen waiting in front of fuel stations throughout the night in hopes of securing a small amount of fuel. However, even by Wednesday morning, the situation showed no signs of improvement, leaving commuters and drivers frustrated.

At the few stations that remained open, vehicles lined up for hours, with many unable to obtain fuel despite long waits. The crisis has significantly disrupted daily life in the city, affecting transportation, business activities, and essential services.

Drivers and consumers blamed the situation on the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, saying the impact has now reached urban life in Bangladesh. “Everything—from transportation to daily work—has been affected,” several commuters said.

Experts warn that if the situation persists, it could further strain the economy and create additional hardships for ordinary citizens already dealing with rising costs.
