Unhappy India runs out of fuel...


Very bad news, my car has only half tank full and I could not get petrol anywhere in the morning.... Are govt officials (PSU and state) always good for nothing?

Army has been kept on standby to run refineries if required.
I never though a strike would have such an impact.

BPCL has called off strike.
So, there will be a partial let-up in the situation.

What about the truckers' strike? How would the fuel stations get their load without the trucks running?

Now the companies have canceled the 'strike' but the truckers are still on it. Neither govt. or the truckers are forfeiting.
