Fuel shortage hits pumps amid panic buying; OMCs call for calm, say supply is steady
Farmers across several states in India are facing fuel shortages due to the recent hike in fuel prices. The Centre has implemented price hikes to mitigate losses for its oil marketing companies (OMCs), but this has led to supply disruptions and long queues at petrol stations. In Maharashtra, farmers are struggling to procure diesel for their tractors, while in Punjab, the Punjab Petrol Pump Dealers Association reports short supplies of both petrol and diesel. The situation is impacting agricultural activities and transportation, with some fuel stations even running dry. The Petroleum Ministry has assured the public that there is no shortage of fuel but urged people to avoid panic buying.
