Bangladesh would not face any immediate fuel shortage as the government has taken fast measures, asking Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) to secure fuel from alternative sources on an urgent basis. “If fuel sources are managed efficiently, the situation would not worsen. He said Bangladesh has been importing refined fuel from Singapore, China, Malaysia and Indonesia and is planning to import energy from other alternative sources. Experts said Bangladesh can import coal for coal-fired power plants and avoid fuel, and also LNG during the crisis period. Due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, we will not have to face problems for refined fuel oil,” said BPC Director Dr AKM Azadur Rahman earlier.
