Fuel supplies at service stations expected to return to normal tomorrow

Queues formed outside some service stations on Friday, October 23, 2026, amid disruptions to supplies of premium gasoline and diesel. The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum blamed the delays on a three-day general strike by hydrocarbon transporters and said depots have sufficient stocks, so there is no shortage. Deliveries are expected to resume after the strike ends, progressively restocking affected stations from Saturday, October 24. The ministry urged motorists to avoid precautionary buying and remain calm.
