Hyderabad Motorists Panic-Buy Petrol Amid Truckers' Protest

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Hyderabad is currently experiencing a surge in panic buying and long queues at petrol stations as a nationwide truckers' strike intensifies. The strike, ignited by opposition to stringent penalties for hit-and-run cases under the newly-passed Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, has led to widespread panic buying, causing certain petrol pumps to exhaust their stock. In the aftermath of the ongoing strike by oil tanker owners, motorists in Hyderabad have formed massive queues outside petrol stations. Truckers, taxi, and bus operators initiated a nationwide strike to protest against the newly-passed Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which imposes a ₹7 lakh penalty and a 10-year jail term for hit-and-run cases.
