Motorcyclist Al Amin Hussain said, “I stood in line at 1am, and now at 2pm I finally got fuel. The suffering is endless. I couldn’t eat properly, and standing in the sun for so long has worsened my health.”
This correspondent spoke to him at the Trust Filling Station in Tejgaon on Wednesday. At around 2:00 pm, he was seen collecting fuel using the Fuel Pass app.
He said he obtained fuel through the app and would not be able to buy fuel again for the next one week. However, this fuel will cover the entire week. To get it they had to stand in line since 1:00 am last night.
At that time there was a queue of motorcycles till Mohakhali railway gate. Gradually, while walking in the queue, it took him from night to morning and then from morning to afternoon to reach the station.
“I and some of my friends were standing in line. We never thought it would take so long. The suffering is too much. But we can’t do anything – we need fuel to keep going,” Al Amin said.
