The Telangana Petroleum Dealers Association has clarified that there is no shortage of fuel in the state.
It stated that adequate stocks of petrol and diesel are available with major oil companies such as HPCL, IOCL, and BPCL.
The association emphasized that reports suggesting a fuel
shortage are false and urged the public not to believe such rumours. It noted that long queues at petrol bunks are being caused by panic buying, as consumers rush to fill fuel fearing non-availability.
The association added that such advance purchases are creating temporary inconvenience at some locations.
