Fear Of Fuel Shortage Triggers Panic Buying In Kashmir, India
Petrol pump nozzles are seen at an Indian Oil Corporation fuel station in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on March 25, 2026. Concerns over potential supply disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran have led to long queues at petrol pumps across Kashmir. Rumors of a possible lockdown have triggered panic buying, driven by fears of fuel shortages in India. The Strait of Hormuz, a key transit route for a significant share of India's crude imports, is particularly sensitive to geopolitical tensions. Recent data indicates that roughly 40% of India's oil imports have traditionally passed through this route. Authorities, however, state there are no shortages. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
