NARAYANGANJ, March 7, 2026 (BSS) - The district administration conducted a 
day-long monitoring campaign at various petrol pumps across Narayanganj on 
Saturday to ensure the normal supply of fuel and prevent irregularities.

As part of the special drive, mobile courts and monitoring teams visited 
filling stations in Narayanganj Sadar, Sonargaon, Rupganj, and Bandar 
upazilas from the morning.

In Bandar upazila, the upazila administration, along with police, carried out 
inspections at 10 petrol pumps. Bandar Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Md. 
Mostafizur Rahman said the teams checked stock registers and found the 
information to be accurate. 

Since no irregularities were detected, no fines were imposed. However, the 
sale of loose fuel oil in the open market has been completely banned. He also 
confirmed that all petrol pumps in the upazila are currently operational.

Meanwhile, a noticeable increase in vehicle pressure and crowds of customers 
was observed at several filling stations in Rupganj upazila. During the 
inspections, pump owners were instructed not to sell fuel beyond the 
prescribed limit and were warned against selling oil in drums or containers 
in the open market.

In the morning, another team of the district administration inspected Prime 
Filling Station, Chowrangi Filling Station and Firoz Filling Station in the 
Fatullah area. 

The team found that Prime and Chowrangi filling stations were selling fuel 
within the prescribed limits but were not issuing proper sales receipts to 
customers. Authorities strictly warned the operators and instructed them to 
ensure receipts are provided for every transaction.

Firoz Filling Station, however, was found closed during the inspection and 
had reportedly remained shut for the past few days.

Assistant Commissioner and Executive Magistrate of the district 
administration Suha Tabil said officials spoke with consumers present at the 
stations and received no complaints. The mobile court operations were 
conducted to ensure discipline in the overall fuel supply system in the 
district.

The assistant commissioner added that information received during the 
campaign confirmed that diesel and octane were being sold at petrol pumps and 
filling stations in line with government instructions.
