Udaipur petrol pumps to remain closed on 23rd October

Rajasthan Petroleum Dealers Association, Udaipur, said that all the petrol pumps in the city will remain closed on October 23. This is to protest against the Government’s refusal to cut VAT on petrol and diesel.

There are around 140 petrol pumps in Udaipur. All of them will remain closed from 6.00 am onwards on October 23 and remain closed till 5.00 am on October 24, 2019. The statewide strike has been called after the government hiked the VAT on petroleum products by 4%. This hike has increased the fuel prices by 5 to 9 rupees. This price is higher than that of the neighbouring states, which has resulted in fall of revenue.

According to the Association, the situation has been presented to the government a number of times earlier, but there has been no positive response, due to which the dealers are forced to go on strike.

The dealers also informed that the strike is indefinite and may continue in the absence of any favourable measure. The Association presented a memo on this matter to the District Collector and District Revenue Officer.

[Report] Purity of Petrol in Udaipur

Purity of Petroleum At Udaipur’s Leading Filling Stations

Petrol turns out to be one of the ‘day to day’ life’s most important commodity. A commodity which influences each and everyone out there almost daily. The most common expressions observed now a days are Petrol Kitna Mehenga Ho Gaya Hai!and the revision of Petrol Prices has almost become as dramatic as an equity graph. However, whatever be the cause or outcome the ‘THING’ that is needed is ‘NEEDED’.

There are certain questions that are pretty common and believe it or not strikes the minds of ALOT of people. A question that always bugs us is ‘How pure is the petrol we use?’,’What grade of petrol do the Petrol Pumps in udaipur use?’, ‘Are we being cheated with the petrol filling stations?’ etc etc. A lot of similar questions regarding the grade/quality/purity of petrol has bugged us for quite a time now. Well thanks to a young group of students from Techno India NJR Institute of Technology, Udaipur we finally have an answer to some of these questions.

The similar mental turmoil regarding petroleum when sparked into the young minds of some TINJRites, they simply stood up to the task of collecting data and checking out the purity of the samples of some of Udaipur’s leading Filling Stations.
