India has started supplying diesel to Bangladesh through the India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline from Assam’s Numaligarh refinery. About 5,000 tonnes of diesel are being sent in the first shipment on Tuesday. The supply is part of an agreement under which India will provide 180,000 tonnes of diesel every year. Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation Chairman Muhammad Rezanur Rahman said, “India will supply 180,000 tonnes of diesel to Bangladesh via the pipeline each year.” The move comes as Bangladesh faces a fuel shortage due to disruptions in global oil supplies during the US-Israel-Iran war. Officials say the delivery will help ease pressure on transport and power generation. (PC: India Today)
