Petrol pumps closed in Haryana after dealers go on indefinite strike

July 20, 2015 10:27

Over 2,300 fuel pumps in Haryana have stopped selling petrol and diesel to consumers as petroleum dealers today went on their indefinite strike to press for various demands, including lower VAT on diesel.

As many as 2,310 fuel pumps across the state went on strike from 6 am in the morning, All Haryana Petroleum Dealers Association Senior Vice President Palwinder Singh Oberoi said today.

Petroleum dealers will not buy and sell fuel as per their protest, he said.

However, some the fuel pumps, which are directly owned by oil companies like Indian Oil, BPCL and HPCL, are open.

"As per our decision taken on July 17, all petroleum dealers of Haryana today went on indefinite strike," All Haryana Petroleum Dealers Association Senior Vice President Palwinder Singh Oberoi said today.

There is a complete shut down of fuel outlets across the state, including Gurgaon, he claimed.

Dealers have also refused to engage meeting with Haryana BJP Chief Subhash Barala for resolving the matter, saying they will talk only with Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
