Truckers' stir: Queues at petrol pumps due to shortage fear; tanker refilling from depots begins

Amid protests in parts of Maharashtra by some truckers' associations against stricter punishments in the new law on hit-and-run cases, the refilling of tankers carrying petrol and diesel started at all except four depots of oil companies in the state started from Tuesday afternoon, an official of petrol dealers' body said.

There are around 10 depots of oil companies in the state, he said.

Petrol pumps in Mumbai, Nagpur and other parts of the state witnessed long queues on Tuesday as people came to fill up their vehicle tanks fearing shortage of fuel amid the protest by truck drivers. The fuel supply to petrol pumps was affected due to the drivers' agitation since Monday.
