As the day stretches on, queues at Dhaka’s petrol pumps have become grueling, with motorists waiting hours under the scorching sun. Arif Hawlader shared that the queue at the Trust Filling Station reached the Mohakhali rail crossing on Thursday night. In contrast, Masum Billah managed to get four litres of petrol at the City Filling Station in Tejgaon within an hour. He had previously tried the Ramna Petrol Pump and Service Station at 5pm, but they stopped dispensing fuel just as he arrived. Mizanur Rahman Ratan, joint convenor of the Bangladesh Petrol Pump Owners Association, described the scenes as a grim reality.
