Minister said, till 13^th November the problem may continue and the government is making sure that there is no fuel crisis.

“We already told people via media that to keep the balance of the fuel availability, a rationing system has been launched. A motorbike can purchase Rs. 200 petrol, 3 wheelers Rs. 400, and cars Rs. 1,000 at a time,” said Chowdhury.

“Our department officials are on the ground to make sure that the distribution is happening properly and no black-marketing is happening,” added Chowdhury.

“This crisis is not in our hands. It happened because of rail derailment in Assam which will be mitigated soon by Nov 13,” said Chowdhury.
