Karnal: The Petroleum Dealer Welfare Association (PDWA), All-Haryana Petroleum Association (AHPA) and Essar Petroleum Dealer Association (EPDA) today jointly announced to observe a two-day symbolic protest on June 30 and July 1 by not procuring petrol and diesel in protest against daily fuel price change.

Representatives of the associations served a 15-day ultimatum on the oil companies and threatened to go on an indefinite strike after July 15 if the oil companies failed to roll back their decision.

“The oil companies have introduced a new policy to change the selling prices of the fuel on daily basis without developing the required system, infrastructure and without considering the conditions of the country, which is leading to loss to the pump owners,” said Shamsher Singh Gogi, state president, PDWA. He said more than 2,600 filling stations across the state would observe protest on both the days.

“We have decided to observe a two-day symbolic protest by not procuring fuel from the oil companies,” Gogi said. Ram Kumar Kalyan, district president, PDWA, said that the oil companies wanted the follow the international standards, but facilities were not provided to the filling stations.
