Fuel shortage hits Malkangiri amid global tensions

Malkangiri, Mar 7: The ongoing Israel-Iran-US conflict has reportedly impacted fuel supplies in India, leading to a shortage of petrol and diesel in Malkangiri district.

Reports indicate that many petrol pumps in the district are running dry, forcing residents to queue from as early as 4 AM. Where fuel is available, large crowds have gathered, with two-wheelers limited to ₹200 worth of petrol and cars to ₹500 worth of diesel.

The situation has created long waiting lines across several areas of the district, reflecting the growing concern over fuel scarcity amid global geopolitical tensions.
