Yesterday evening, 16 petrol stations announced they were out of stock, bringing the number of gas stations temporarily closed to 137, nearly a fourth of the total gas stations in the city. Binh Duong has 477 gas stations and nine distributors with fuel reserves of over 66,000 cubic meters. By yesterday afternoon, local people and workers flocked to the operational gas stations for refueling. The loss-making gas stations closed down in droves while the demand for fuel among local people remained high. Therefore, they swarmed into operational gas stations, resulting in congestion at these places, the representative explained.
