Due to the petrol shortage in Udgir area of Latur district in the backdrop of the Iran-US war, vehicle owners are lining up at petrol pumps in the city and surrounding areas. Meanwhile, the diesel supply at BR Mukkawar petrol pump here has been stopped for seven days for selling diesel beyond the company’s norms. A few days ago, when there was a line of customers at Bharat Petroleum’s BR Mukkawar petrol pump in Udgir, instead of selling diesel to customers, they filled the diesel in one of their own tankers and took it to villages for retail sale.
Despite clear instructions from Bharat Petroleum Company not to sell in these villages due to the shortage, after a video of Mukkawar selling went viral and the company received similar complaints, action has been taken to stop supply at this petrol pump for seven days. During this shortage, for the first time in Latur district, action has been taken against this pump in Udgir. Vehicle owners and agricultural vehicles are working hard all day and lining up for diesel at night. Therefore, when they have to work hard to get diesel, where did the petrol pump driver and three thousand liters of diesel go and sell it? This question is being raised by farmers.
