Agartala May 09: The ongoing fuel crisis in Agartala has left citizens grappling with frustration and inconvenience. While diesel remains available at various petrol pumps, the situation for petrol is dire. Reports indicate that petrol is scarce, and when available, it is of poor quality.

People have been forced to endure long queues, standing in line for hours, hoping to secure a meagre supply of petrol. Some have even had to abandon their work or daily routines due to the scarcity. The frustration is palpable as citizens waste precious time waiting for fuel.

Among the few petrol pumps that do have petrol, the cost is exorbitant. A litre of petrol is being sold for Rs 200, putting additional strain on already burdened households. Desperate commuters, including women, have been seen lining up, their patience wearing thin.

The situation has escalated tensions between citizens and petrol station staff. Angry crowds have voiced their displeasure, demanding immediate action from the state government. Petrol stations have become hotspots of frustration, with tempers flaring as people struggle to meet their basic transportation needs.

In response to the crisis, citizens are urging the state government to step in and find a swift resolution. They call for better distribution, fair pricing and improved quality control.

As the fuel crisis continues, the pressure mounts on authorities to address the issue promptly and alleviate the hardships faced by the people.
