The Cabinet Division has issued a directive instructing all district administrations to conduct mobile court operations to prevent illegal hoarding of fuel oil and ensure uninterrupted supply across the country. The order, signed by Senior Assistant Secretary Nahida Akter Tania, was released on Monday, March 9, 2026.

According to the circular, the move aims to maintain discipline in the fuel market and prevent artificial shortages. District commissioners have been asked to take action against illegal storage, sales above fixed prices, open-market trading, and smuggling of fuel oil. The directive emphasizes the need for strict monitoring to keep the fuel supply stable and accessible to consumers.

The instruction comes amid concerns about potential disruptions in fuel distribution, prompting authorities to strengthen enforcement measures at the local level.
