2-day strike in Rajasthan, all petrol pumps to stay closed

Beginning on Wednesday, Rajasthan’s fuel pump operators will be on a two-day strike during which all of the state’s fuel stations will be closed. According to a gas station attendant, the strike is in protest of the demand for a reduction in diesel prices because there is a disparity in sales between Rajasthan and other states where the VAT is higher and diesel is more expensive.

Although the two-day strike starts on Wednesday, its effect could be seen earlier in Udaipur with petrol pumps being closed from Tuesday evening itself.
People got their vehicles fuelled ahead of the two-day strike in order to avoid possible shortages.
