Petrol stations to remain shut today

New Delhi, April 17
Petrol stations throughout the country will remain shut tomorrow to press for the demand to increase dealers’ commission, the Federation of All-India Petroleum Traders said tonight.

“All petrol stations will be shut from midnight tonight for 24 hours to press for higher commission,” federation president Ashok Badhwar said.

The federation is demanding increase in the dealers’ commission to five per cent from the current 1.59 per cent on petrol and 1.27 per cent on diesel. — PTI
