Fuel shortage troubles people
Notably, the entire world, from a household to international flights, is already facing severe fuel shortage - both cooking and vehicle fuel.
Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself urged people to support the country during the West Asia crisis by saving money and resources.
He asked citizens to use less fuel, avoid foreign travel, spend wisely, and buy local products.
He also suggested reducing edible oil use and dependence on imported fertilisers, while promoting self-reliance and organic farming.
In such a crisis, the fearless robbery of fuel poses a serious threat to not just society but the law and order.
