Information and Broadcasting Minister Jahir Uddin Swapan has stated that Bangladesh is not facing any fuel crisis and that the government has no plan to increase fuel prices. He made the remarks on Wednesday morning during a press conference marking the government’s first month in office. The minister urged citizens not to panic or purchase extra fuel unnecessarily.

Swapan acknowledged that Bangladesh, like other countries, is facing challenges due to the conflict in the Middle East. However, he emphasized that the domestic fuel supply remains stable. His comments came amid public speculation about possible price adjustments following global tensions.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman chaired a special meeting at the Secretariat to discuss measures for managing the country’s fuel situation, according to information released by the Prime Minister’s Office.
