Petroleum traders ask state to resolve rationing of fuel in AP

VIJAYAWADA: Petroleum dealers in AP have asked state government to intervene and resolve the issue of rationing fuel in the state by holding a joint meeting with government-owned oil marketing companies BPCL, HPCL and IOCL. Traders contend that BPCL is imposing a cut on supply of both petrol and diesel, making several fuel stations go dry in several parts in AP, including Visakhapatnam. Fuel dealers feel if state government arranges a joint meeting between petroleum traders and oil marketing companies along with officials, it will help sort out claims and counterclaims by both parties over short supply. AP Federation of Petroleum Traders general secretary P. Ravi Kumar said, “We request state government to call for a joint meeting between OMCs and traders to resolve the issues urgently and amicably before the situation goes out of control.”
