Today on Monday, long queues were seen at various filling stations in the capital to buy fuel. Some filling stations have stopped selling fuel.
Even at stations where fuel sales are closed, drivers of motorcycles, private cars and other vehicles stand in long lines in the hope of buying diesel, petrol and octane.
Drivers say they do not have the capacity to drive to another filling station. Some have completely run out of fuel, while others have very little left. In such a situation, they have no option but to wait where they are standing in the line. Leaving the pump would mean pushing the vehicle.
Meanwhile, queues of motorcycles and various vehicles were seen stretching one to one and a half kilometers at the pumps where fuel sales continued. Some drivers said they were standing in the queue for more than one and a half to two hours.
