Speaking at a financial assistance distribution ceremony in Jashore this Friday (March 27, 2026), State Minister Anindya Islam Amit emphasized that despite global instability, the government has no immediate plans to increase fuel prices.

Highlighting the surge in demand, he mentioned that diesel supply was doubled to 25,000 tons daily ahead of the Eid holidays.
