“Today, we see the prices increase. But there are no more queues. We can buy fuel as much as we need,” said a local motorist in Yangon city.

Limited sales of fuel in the filling stations in Yangon led to long queue of vehicles on April 19 in several cities of Myanmar such as Yangon, Mandalay and Mawlamyine following rumours about fuel shortages.
