The Nasirnagar upazila administration in Brahmanbaria seized approximately 5,200 liters of illegally stored diesel from Selim Store in Purvabhag New Market on Wednesday evening, April 1. The operation was led by Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Sahel Ahmed, who conducted the raid based on secret information. Around 32 drums of diesel were confiscated during the drive.
According to the report, the seizure was part of a nationwide campaign to curb illegal fuel hoarding amid a global energy crisis. Acting on intelligence, law enforcement officials discovered the large stockpile of diesel. The store owner, 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 within the upazila premises to meet local demand, as part of the administration’s effort to ensure fair distribution during the ongoing fuel shortage.
