The CEYPETCO’s Chairman took to the media to alleviate concerns over potential fuel shortages, urging the public to avoid unnecessary panic. He made it clear that there have been no indications from fuel retailers about any disruptions in supply, and that fuel distribution operations are continuing as usual.
Despite these reassurances, some areas have witnessed long queues of vehicles at petrol stations, with many consumers rushing to fill their tanks in anticipation of price hikes or shortages.
In his comment, the Chairman further highlighted that the necessary fuel stocks for the coming days have already been ordered, ensuring that the country will not face any supply interruptions.
He stressed the importance of remaining calm, as the fuel distribution system is operating as planned, with no disruptions expected.
In light of these reassurances, the CEYPETCO is urging consumers to refrain from panic buying, which has contributed to congestion at fuel stations in some regions.
The public is advised to purchase fuel as needed, and not in excess, to help maintain smooth operations and avoid unnecessary strain on the supply chain.
