The fuel crisis across different parts of the country is becoming increasingly alarming. After waiting in long queues for hours without success, many motorists and ordinary citizens are now being forced to spend the night at fuel stations. Some are even setting up mosquito nets under the open skyโhoping to secure at least a small amount of fuel.
Eyewitnesses report that long lines persist throughout the day at filling stations. Even after hours of waiting, when fuel remains unavailable, many choose to stay nearby so they can quickly access it if supplies arrive.
People involved in the transport sector say the crisis is severely affecting not only mobility but also their livelihoods. Several drivers expressed frustration, saying, โIt is impossible to run vehicles without fuel. Waiting day and night has now become part of our routine.โ
Energy sector analysts suggest that such a situation usually indicates supply shortages, weaknesses in distribution systems, or policy-related issues. Although the authorities have denied any major crisis, many believe the ground reality reflects a different picture.
Meanwhile, social media has been flooded with images and accounts of people spending nights at fuel stations with mosquito nets, further intensifying public concern and frustration.
Experts warn that without timely and effective measures, the situation could worsen, leading to broader economic and social disruptions.
Citizens are now urging the authorities to take immediate and transparent steps to restore a stable fuel supply and bring the situation back to normal.
