Majid Ali, who commutes 22km every day for work, has to stand in a queue for two hours to get the fuel he needs for his bike. He is one of millions of people in Bangladesh who have been lining up outside petrol stations day and night amid concerns over the country’s declining fuel reserves triggered by Donald Trump's month-long war on Iran.
“This motorcycle is the only convenient way for me to commute, but without the octane, how will I continue,” the 33-year-old private sector employee tells The Independent.
