Authorities in Saghata upazila of Gaibandha conducted a raid at an unregistered fuel pump in Bharatkhali, seizing 1,200 liters of petrol. The operation took place on Sunday at Messrs. Abul Kalam Azad Traders, led by Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md. Ashraful Kabir, who also imposed a fine of Tk 30,000 on the establishment.
According to local residents, the pump’s proprietor, Abul Kalam Azad (also known as Olok), had been selling petrol at nearly double the government-fixed price for an extended period. During the raid, officials confirmed the allegations of overpricing. The seized petrol was ordered to be sold at the official rate, with the Officer-in-Charge of the local police station and the Upazila Agriculture Officer assigned to oversee the sale.
The proceeds from the sale of the confiscated fuel are to be deposited into the government treasury, as directed by the Upazila Nirbahi Officer.
