Bangladesh’s Minister of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, visited petrol pumps in Dhaka’s Asad Gate area on Friday, March 6, 2026, following a sudden increase in fuel demand.

His visit aimed to raise awareness and counter misinformation circulating in the market.
Authorities reiterated that fuel supply across Bangladesh remains normal and that the government is maintaining constant oversight to prevent any artificial crisis.
