India is facing a worsening fuel crisis, with severe shortages of petroleum products leading to long queues at petrol pumps, forcing authorities to deploy police to maintain order.
According to international media, poor planning and weaknesses in energy policy have exacerbated the crisis, while the shortage has triggered fear and anxiety among the public.
Reports indicate that long lines at petrol stations have become a common sight in several cities, prompting authorities to take additional measures to manage crowds and maintain law and order.
Citizens say they have been waiting for fuel for the past 24 hours, with a heavy rush at pumps throughout the day and night, raising concerns about further shortages.
Experts believe the crisis is a result of weak governance, poor planning, and delayed decision-making, which have contributed to the worsening situation.
They also warn that the crisis is impacting the economy, with issues such as energy shortages, pressure on the currency, and declining remittances posing serious challenges to economic stability.
