Bangladesh Closes Universities and Rations Fuel Amid Iran Conflict
Bangladesh has shut all public and private universities early and brought forward Eid al-Fitr holidays. The move aims to cut electricity use and ease traffic jams that lead to fuel wastage. Daily limits on fuel sales are now in place after panic buying and stockpiling. Foreign-curriculum schools and private coaching centres must also suspend operations to conserve power. These steps respond to energy supply disruptions linked to the US-Israel war on Iran. Analysts warn the measures offer short-term relief but could disrupt the academic calendar if the crisis persists.
