The situation is stressful in Rodrigues. Until nightfall on Wednesday afternoon, the 3 gas stations of Rodrigues were crowded. Rs 300 of gasoline per person but many people come to fill up gallons. Some people leave their vehicles outside to make several trips on foot to fill the gallons and then empty them into their vehicles. The Chief Commissioner said on social networks that there is an urgent need for another company to come and stop this monopoly. According to him, there is already an offer. It is unbelievable what is happening in Rodrigues, we find that there is not enough stock.
This measure is applied so that everyone can get supplies until the arrival of the boat on Christmas Eve. People are angry. The gas station, which was closed for renovation, was forced to open because the anger of the people is felt. One young person even had to declare, ‘in this peak period, lerla vine fair renovation’. With the irregularity of the maritime supply, the Chief Commissioner wished Rodrigues to have its own boat. Let us recall that AEL DDS Ltd. has been the only company transporting petroleum products to Rodrigues for years and one wonders if there is not urgency for a second carrier for our dependency.
