Concerned authorities had to issue a clarification on Wednesday evening that fuel availability in all its outlets is absolutely normal.
Amid rumours of petrol and diesel shortage in valley, which led to long queues at petrol pumps, authorities had to issue a clarification on Wednesday evening that fuel availability in all its outlets is absolutely normal and there is no need to panic.
According to reports, rumours of fuel shortage surfaced in valley which soon led to long queues at fuel outlets, forcing many dealers to even close them due to the crowds getting out of control.
The local petrol pump associations also issued a clarification that there was no shortage of petrol and diesel.
The panic forced Indian Oil to issue a clarification, with the retailer’s Director (Marketing) V Satish Kumar tweeting that supplies of fuel are absolutely normal.
“This is to assure that product availability at our retail outlets is absolutely normal. There is adequate product availability & supplies to all markets. We request you not to panic. Indian Oil is fully committed to serve at all times,” Mr Kumar said in the tweet.
Apparently the rumour was spread that Saudi Arabia has stopped crude oil supply to India, which led to the panic among people across many Indian States.
