A severe fuel shortage has disrupted transportation in the hill district of Bandarban, part of a nationwide energy crisis. On Friday morning, local Member of Parliament Saching Prue Jerry personally visited a fuel station to oversee the orderly distribution of fuel to tourists and residents. The MP ensured that stranded vehicles and essential service transports received priority fuel supply.

For several days, fuel stations in Bandarban had been facing shortages, causing long queues and leaving many tourist vehicles stuck mid-journey. The situation worsened during the peak tourist season, prompting the MP to intervene directly. He spent hours at the station supervising the process to prevent artificial scarcity and to ensure visitors did not leave with negative experiences.

Jerry stated that alleviating public suffering was his main responsibility and emphasized that no one should create an artificial crisis in the district.
