Starting from December 4th in Taung Ngu, some petrol shops closed their sales saying that there was a shortage of petrol. until the morning of December 6th
There are only 2 or 3 gas stations that sell gas in Taung Ngu city and the surrounding area, so they only buy from these gas stations.
Regarding the situation of not being able to buy fuel in Taung Ngu city, “In Taung Ngu, the big gas stations all over the city are saying that they are running out of fuel. Some of them only sell a small amount for people who run out of motorcycle fuel. Some gas stations only reschedule for the next day and only sell part-time. In Taung Ngu city, there is only one Shwewa fuel pump. There are too many people, so you can wait in line and buy it. Anyway, it is difficult for the people to buy it. We can also thank the gas stations for making and selling the gasoline we need at this time.
