Authorities in Nasirnagar, Brahmanbaria seized approximately 5,200 liters of illegally stored diesel on Wednesday evening, April 1, 2026. The operation took place at Selim Store in Purvabhag New Market, led by Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Sahel Ahmed. The fuel was found in 32 drums during the raid, which was conducted based on confidential information.
The seizure is part of a nationwide campaign to curb illegal fuel hoarding amid a global energy shortage. Following the operation, an individual named Md. Faisal was fined 10,000 taka under Section 20 of the Petroleum Act, 2016 for illegal storage. The confiscated diesel was later sold at government-fixed prices in the Nasirnagar Upazila Parishad premises to meet local demand.
Officials stated that such enforcement actions will continue as part of efforts to stabilize the fuel supply and prevent black-market trading during the ongoing energy crisis.
