UK Fuel Crisis: Terrible oil crisis in Britain, 90% of petrol pumps closed, why did such a thing happen?
There is an outcry in the UK due to the shortage of petrol and diesel. Long queues of vehicles are seen in front of the petrol pumps which are open. The British government is now considering getting rid of this problem through the army.
London,
the country whose sun never sets, is facing a terrible oil crisis these days. The situation has reached such a point that 90 percent of the petrol pumps in the UK have run out of fuel. Panicked people are wandering here and there to buy more and more petrol. Due to this, a situation of chaos has arisen in the petrol pumps where the supply is on. The shortage of fuel has not only led to acute shortage of food and drink, but the transport system is also getting adversely affected. Experts have warned that its impact could also be seen on the UK economy.
Why the oil crisis deepened in Britain
Brexit and a severe shortage of truck drivers are being cited as the reason for the shortage of petrol and diesel in Britain. Due to this the UK supply chain has collapsed. Oil is not reaching the petrol pumps from the refinery. A large number of trucks are parked on the side of the road, but there is no one to drive them. This is the reason why there is an outcry due to the shortage of oil across the UK.
The government's efforts are also to no avail,
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government has announced to spend millions of pounds to stop food shortages caused by rising natural gas prices. Several cabinet ministers are appealing to the people to avoid panic buying. Despite this, a similar situation is visible at almost all the petrol pumps in the country.
60 to 90 percent of petrol pumps closed On
Sunday, many petrol pumps in Britain had to be closed after being declared dry. The same is true of gas stations. The Petrol Retailers Association (PRA), an organization of petrol pump sellers in Britain, has reported that 60 to 90 percent of pumps have to be closed in some areas. Diesel-petrol and gas have been exhausted at these pumps. We are not getting the supply. Hence, the situation is likely to remain the same in future also.
