5,000 litres of stockpiled fuel seized in Brahmanbaria

Authorities seized 5,000 litres of
illegally stored fuel during a mobile court drive at Purbabhag Notun Bazar in
Brahmanbaria's Nasirnagar upazila last night (1 April).
The operation was
led by Nasirnagar Upazila Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive
Magistrate Sahel Ahmed, based on a tip-off that a local grocery shop, Selim
Store, had been hoarding a large quantity of fuel.
During the drive,
officials recovered 5,000 litres of fuel stored in 26 drums from the shop
premises. The shop owner, Md Faisal, was fined Tk10,000.
Sahel Ahmed said that dishonest traders are creating an artificial crisis by
illegally stockpiling fuel, due to which, mobile courts are being operated at
various places.
