Diesel ‘Rationing’ in Hyderabad (India)

Diesel shortage continues to haunt the state capital, which is already reeling under acute power crisis. Serpentine queues outside petrol bunks were seen in various areas of the city. In fact, many bunk owners are resorting to rationing. “I went to a petrol bunk on Wednesday night in Trimulgherry and was flatly told by the attendant that I could get only Rs 1,000 worth diesel,” said Ravi Kumar, a senior manager with an IT MNC, who normally buys a tank full. Some bunks were not giving more than 20 litres per customer. “I had to wait for around two hours at a petrol station in Jubilee Hills,” rued Raj Kumar Goud, a businessman. ‘No stock’ signboards also welcomed motorists at various petrol bunks.
