Rumours of fuel shortages have led to long queues at Goa petrol stations, but officials confirm that petrol and diesel supplies remain ample.
Rumours of a sudden shortage of petrol and diesel have caused crowds to line up at several petrol stations across Goa. The chatter began after social media posts suggested that fuel supplies might be running low.
The Goa Department of Transport has issued a statement confirming that both petrol and diesel stocks at all major stations are well above the required levels. According to the department, the state’s fuel distribution network is operating normally and there is no immediate risk of shortages.
Despite the official reassurance, many customers remain in line, waiting for their fill‑ups. Station attendants report that the queues are primarily due to the spread of misinformation rather than any actual supply issue.
Authorities have urged residents to verify information through official channels and to remain calm. They also advised motorists to plan their journeys in advance and to keep an eye on updates from the state transport office.
