Bangladesh to maintain fuel rationing until Iran war ends, power minister says

Power and Energy Minister Iqbal Hassan Mahmood says Bangladesh’s oil reserves are increasing with the arrival of two tankers, but fuel rationing will continue until the Iran war ends.

On Sunday, the minister outlined the latest fuel stock situation, saying one oil tanker had anchored at 11am and another was scheduled to dock at 2pm.

“After these two ships deliver the oil, our reserves will increase further. But that does not mean we will spend it carelessly.”

“We will continue the rationing for as long as the war continues.”
