The All India Petroleum Dealers Association has called for a 15 minute blackout on March 21 to create awareness about the issues faced by the dealers.
The Association flagged off concerns about the frequent unplanned price fluctuations of public sector oil marketing companies. It also demanded a fixed 5 per cent commission amongst other issues.
“During the blackout, all lights will be switched off and sales will be suspended for this duration. The agitation is to highlight and push the following issues which are being raised again and again,” the Association said in a statement.
After March 21, the dealers have called for a no purchase day on March 31. This would happen if required. Further, a ‘no purchase, no sale’ day has also been called for at a future date.
