Authorities in Nesarabad upazila of Pirojpur conducted a mobile raid on April 1, 2026, seizing around 3,000 liters of diesel and kerosene allegedly stored illegally. The operation, led by Upazila Nirbahi Officer Amit Dutta and based on NSI intelligence, took place at Mahamudkathi Bazar under Atghar Kuriana Union. The seized fuel was found in a warehouse belonging to Messrs. Nantu Talukdar, who lacked valid documents for fuel sales. The individual was fined 10,000 taka, and the confiscated fuel will be sold under administrative supervision with proceeds deposited into the government treasury.
The raid followed reports in the newspaper Amar Desh highlighting a severe diesel shortage affecting IRRI-Boro rice cultivation and causing hardship for farmers. Complaints had also surfaced about fuel being sold at prices higher than government rates. Officials stated that such drives would continue and that strict legal action would be taken against those hoarding fuel or destabilizing the market.
The operation reflects ongoing administrative efforts to address fuel hoarding and stabilize supply during the reported diesel shortage.
