Petrol-pump owners in India have decided not to purchase fuel from June 16 in protest against the “unilateral” decision of the government to revise fuel prices daily all over the country.
Though the associations concerned are not terming it a strike, they are saying that “no purchase” from June 16 means petrol pumps are likely to go dry from the day their stocks are exhausted. “It is not a strike, but there will be no purchase of petrol or diesel, starting from June 16,” Ajay Bansal, president, All India Petroleum Dealers' Association, told Business Standard.
