RAJSHAHI - Officials in Rajshahi have categorically stated that the supply of fuel oil remains completely normal, dismissing any need for the public to buy or stockpile extra fuel based on rumours or misleading information.
Official Meeting to Address Rumours
The reassurance came after a discussion meeting held today in the conference room of the Deputy Commissioner. The meeting was organized to ensure the normal supply of fuel, review the market situation, and prevent the spread of rumours.
Deputy Commissioner Kazi Shahidul Islam presided over the meeting, which was attended by Superintendent of Police Naimul Hasan, Deputy Police Commissioner of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police Mostafizur Rahman, and Senior Assistant Commissioner Abhijit Sarkar. Owners of various petrol pumps, business leaders, and officials from different government departments were also present.
Call for Responsible Action
Kazi Shahidul Islam emphasized the importance of obtaining accurate information from the government and other reliable sources instead of heeding rumours. He warned that unreasonable purchases or stockpiling of fuel could create an artificial shortage, increasing the suffering of the common people.
“Therefore, instead of panicking, we must act responsibly, and everyone must cooperate to maintain a normal market situation,” he said. The meeting reviewed the current fuel supply system and market situation, and participants discussed measures needed to ensure the uninterrupted supply of fuel in the future.
Petrol pump owners, business leaders, and officials concerned also shared their views at the meeting.
