Artificial fuel shortage at 56 of 4,312 petrol bunks in Andhra Pradesh, says BJP state chief Madhav

P.V.N. Madhav, BJP State president, urged petrol bunks in Andhra Pradesh to ensure fuel availability, citing irregularities affecting 1.29% of outlets. Following a week-long fuel disruption that caused long queues and shortages, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu directed officials to increase supply by 10%, monitor stock levels through the Real Time Governance Centre, and address black-marketing. By April 29th, the situation had stabilized with sufficient stocks and reduced queues reported at most outlets.
