The Chattogram district administration seized 25,000 liters of illegally stored diesel from the Faujdarhat area on Monday evening. The operation took place in the Chalimpur residential area, where officials discovered three tanks filled with stolen fuel. Despite the recovery, no individuals involved in the illegal storage were arrested during the raid.

According to the district administration, the raid was conducted based on confidential information at a tin-fenced site near the Chalimpur residential gate. Alongside hundreds of oil drums, three large tanks containing the stolen diesel were found. The report indicates that the operation targeted a group allegedly trading stolen fuel using tanks labeled with the names Padma, Meghna, and Jamuna.

Chattogram Deputy Commissioner Zahidul Islam Miah stated that the government is taking strict action against illegal fuel hoarders, with around fifty cases filed so far. He also assured that the government maintains an adequate reserve of fuel.
